New Rule Regarding Microgrids

by | Jan 26, 2021 | Energy

California regulators recently adopted on rules to facilitate microgrid deployment in California to ensure grid resilience and backup power capabilities.  UCAN participated and contributed to this proceeding to reduce barriers to microgrid development. The latest California Public Utilities Commission decision is part of ongoing efforts to prepare for the upcoming wildfire season. New rules also direct utilities to create a Microgrid Incentive Program, which would fund clean energy microgrids from a $200 million budget for vulnerable communities impacted by grid outages.  For more information, please see:  https://www.utilitydive.com/news/california-approves-pge-sdge-sce-microgrid-tariffs-with-eye-to-upcoming/593556/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter%20Weekly%20Roundup:%20Utility%20Dive:%20Daily%20Dive%2001-23-2021&utm_term=Utility%20Dive%20Weekender
