| | | | | | Valley Children’s Healthcare in Madura plans to bring the microgrid into operation next year. The facility’s planners hope that the project will generate 80% of the hospital’s on-site energy needs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half and save $15 million in energy costs over the next 25 years. |

| | | | | | A proposed California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) decision rejecting community microgrid tariff proposals from nonutility stakeholders would make it difficult to commercialize community microgrids, the stakeholders say. It’s just one of a number of CPUC decisions that undermine the deployment of distributed energy resources, they argue. |

| | | | | | Developer Natura Resources would deploy its MSR-1 system at Abilene Christian University and operate the 1-MW in tandem with the school’s Nuclear Energy eXperimental Testing (NEXT) Laboratory. The MSR-1 would not be commercially operational and would only be maintained at low power for research purposes. |
