4 FAQs about Community microgrids gitega

What is a community microgrid?

“a group of coordinated local energy resources, such as solar-photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems, designed to serve the energy demand of a local community. Community microgrids operate within a clearly defined boundary with the ability to operate in standalone mode, without the energy supply from the main grid.

How can we help communities build and operate microgrids?

Using our technical, regulatory and policy expertise on community energy systems, we can assist these communities to build and operate microgrids. This website provides vital information on microgrid planning, design, and other relevant aspects (business models, policy and regulatory aspects).

Can Community Microgrids deliver equitable energy resilience in frontline and marginalized communities?

Managed by a local non-profit, the microgrid can keep power on for 14 local businesses and community services in the town's center during times of crisis.
