Every once in a while we see a good story fall through the cracks. It doesn’t get the kind of readership we thought it should given its importance to the microgrid community.
It’s hard to say why. Maybe it was published on the Friday before a holiday or during summer vacations. Or sometimes a bigger, flashier story breaks at the same time and it gets all of the attention, especially if it is promoted by social media champions.
