4 Frequently Asked Questions about "State Grid Microgrid Policy"

Where do microgrid programs and regulations come from?

Typically, microgrid programs and regulations may originate within state legislation, which encourages or requires State Energy Offices and / or PUCs to initiate decision-making processes, to launch a microgrid grant program, or otherwise reduce barriers to microgrids.

How do I develop a microgrid policy or program?

The first step when developing a microgrid policy or program should be to define several key terms including microgrid, hybrid/multi-customer microgrid, and mobile microgrid. This can be done through legislation, regulation, a state roadmap, or in the initial program description.

What is a state microgrid?
