Upcoming session #1: Virtual, Wednesday May 25th 2022 @ Noon

“Municipal Microgrids Revisited: How to Procure Resilient Electric Power for Community Lifeline with an Energy as a Service (Eaas) Financing Model”
In this session, you will learn the basic fundamentals of microgrid components, the challenges for siting and purchasing, new grant opportunities, and the benefits of resiliency of the grid and your community lifelines from the impacts of power outages. A representative from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center will provide an overview of the Mass CEC’s services and their work on microgrids. A strategic alliance of private companies, Schneider Electric, Citizen’s Energy Corporation, and GZA, will discuss microgrid projects and “EaaS,” an innovative method of financing a microgrid that reduces the ownership and operation risks for the municipality. Find out more about each of the panelists on the Energy Planning Workshops Webpage.

Thank you. Please feel free to register for all the workshops today! We hope these workshops will provide municipal leaders with the tools to incorporate greater sustainability into their communities. I hope you see you all there!
