| | | | | | 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. |

|
| | | | | | 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. |
