a meaningful solution for the operational needs of the state electric grid and the fundamental architecture of the grid supports robust contributions from distrib-uted energy resources and microgrids.

Cataloging US state policy patterns towards microgrid deployment

One of these solutions is microgrids that can disconnect from the grid and offer grid resilience during an outage. While this technology is still finding its footing in the industry, states

Grid Deployment Office U.S. Department of Energy

In some cases, microgrids can sell power back to the grid during normal operations. However, microgrids are just one way to improve the energy resilience of an electric grid and they do have

State Microgrid Policy, Programmatic, and Regulatory Framework

As a result, the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) created this framework to serve as a resource and

Microgrids: How They Work

Unlike the utility grid, which generates electricity in a centralized power plant and then distributes it along hundreds of miles of transmission lines, a microgrid generates electricity on-site.

Resilience and Microgrid Policy Activity

In 2023, SEPA sought to supplement that research by highlighting state-level policy actions – which include legislative and regulatory proposals — related to resilience and microgrids.

Microgrid Overview

If the microgrid is grid-connected (i.e., connected to the main electric grid), then the community can draw power from the main electric grid to supplement its own generation as needed or sell power back to

Microgrids: State Policies To Bolster Energy Resilience

Microgrids State Working Group

The Microgrids Working Group is hosting facilitated discussions between State Energy Offices and PUCs to explore microgrid technologies and applications, policy and regulatory frameworks, and

Microgrids

Microgrids can enhance grid resilience to more extreme weather or cyber attacks. Microgrids can continuously power individual buildings, neighborhoods, or entire cities, even if the

Microgrids: State Policies To Bolster Energy Resilience

This report will explain how microgrids operate, the ways in which they can support the reliability and resilience of the power grid and the policies state legislatures have adopted to support
