ICYMI: “DOE’s Office of Electricity has provided over $10 million to fund multi-year research, development, and demonstration of microgrid-related technologies to make clean energy available and affordable in remote areas of the country, especially in underserved communities. Read the full announcement to learn how microgrid solutions can make the electric grid more reliable and resilient!” https://lnkd.in/ggb449_h

Can you explain how a microgrid works? ⚡️ We show you: Starting today, we're introducing #MicrogridMonday. Microgrids put you in control of the #EnergyTransition and we're excited to highlight some of our own microgrid projects every Monday. Slide through to discover how these innovative systems boost #EnergyEfficiency. Stay tuned to see how #microgrids are maximizing the use of energy systems at our Siemens locations around the globe! 💡🌍

From Microgrids to Smart Cities and everything in between (including puppies!), DISTRIBUTECH International had it all this week. Here's a glimpse into the electrifying atmosphere and my personal takeaways: 🌍 The Pulse of Progress: Microgrids and distributed energy (solar, batteries, etc.), with their potential to revolutionize energy distribution, claimed 21% of the conference presentations. It's clear they're not just a trend but the foundation of our energy future. 🚀 Opportunities Uncovered: I was particularly intrigued by information on states like RI, KY, OR, WI, ME, and MI. Despite their low levels of microgrid deployment, their policies paint a promising landscape for growth and innovation. ⚡ Community Power: The stories of active community microgrid projects, like those in Hot Springs, North Carolina, and Foresthill, California, were truly inspiring. They exemplify how technology can foster community resilience, allowing multiple customers to stand strong against utility-wide outages. 🚧 Navigating Challenges: Despite the excitement, the discussions were grounded in reality, addressing challenges like better simulation methods for efficient planning and the need for increased builder and market awareness.
