To power his home in the town of Woodside, in California’s San Mateo County, Wim Coekaerts decided to forego connecting to the local power grid. Instead, faced with the cost of having power brought to his home, the Oracle exec instead decided to make his own microgrid.
Coekaerts built microgrid due to the unreliability of California’s power grid
Coekaerts creation of a microgrid for his home was in part motivated by financial need. New homes without utility service in Woodside are required to pay for wires to be buried underground. In Coekaerts case, he was faced with having to pay Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. (PG&E) roughly $100,000 for engineering work on top of also having to foot the bill for trenching.

LIPA CEO Tom Falcone told Newsday all New Yorkers should expect an increase in rates as the projects begin, instead of only Long Islanders facing the burden.
Grid upgrades include new transmission lines from East Garden City to Melville, Glenwood to Mellville and other projects adding up to $1.3 billion.
