As the U.S. aggressively moves to combat and adapt to climate change, microgrids offer proven technologies and a safe, resilient, and clean alternative to traditional resources such as diesel backup generation. In addition to achieving customer-driven decarbonization, sustainability, and other climate policy goals, microgrids can empower communities to achieve greater resiliency and energy independence if the proper frameworks facilitate interaction with distribution utilities and the wholesale grid. MRC will advocate for new business models that value customer-based resilient distributed resources.
