| | | | | | The White Earth Nation recently switched on its new solar energy storage microgrid, creating a resilience hub at a local school. Meanwhile, the Red Lake Nation broke ground on a 300-MW solar array, which is expected to be one of the largest installations on tribal lands. |

| | | | | | The value of microgrid resilience isn’t always easy to calculate, but for a Siemens USA manufacturing and office facility in Wendell, N.C., it wasn’t difficult to do the math. A microgrid is expected to help avoid $450,000 a year in outage costs while providing $100,000 in demand response savings. |

| | | | | | Developed through a public-private partnership with utility Xcel Energy, the solar and energy storage microgrid will provide at least 14 days of power for mission critical facilities. It is also expected to lower the garrison’s energy costs by $200,000 a year. |

| | | | | | Located at Delta Electronics’ Detroit-area facility, the microgrid will leverage existing renewable energy assets and a new 13.2 kV medium voltage interconnection provided by DTE Energy. The “living laboratory” will test how energy assets interact with utility infrastructure under real operating conditions. |
