What is a microgrid in Puerto Rico?

A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid. Each microgrid includes generation, loads, transformers, distribution lines, protective devices, and, typically, energy storage. Several factors combine to make Puerto Rico an ideal place for solar power and microgrids.

Are microgrids coming to Florida?

Florida is the most hurricane-prone state in the US, vulnerable to an average $15.4 billion in storm damages annually. So it's perplexing that state government hasn't made at least as much fanfare about microgrids as places like California and New Jersey. But even if its government isn't leading the way, microgrids are cropping up in the state.

What is a microgrid & how does it work?

The microgrid will include a 150-kW photovoltaic solar array and a 450-kW, 2.5-hour battery energy storage system. Like most microgrids, the system won't just run during power outages. Under normal conditions it will serve the larger grid.

How will the microgrids benefit the community?

Revenue generated by the microgrids will be reinvested into the community in several ways, including operation, maintenance, and future expansion of the microgrids, and as an emergency fund to bring solar energy to other low-income communities in the area.
