There are so many questions to ask before building your microgrid. There are plenty of experienced consultants and vendors who are happy to speak with you, and you should interview them. Yet, wouldn’t it be great to sit in a room with other energy customers who have gone through the process of building a microgrid so you could speak freely and learn from those who have been there?
This panel session will be moderated by Brad Tito, the program manager of NYSERDA Communities & Local Governments. His panelist have been asked to answer questions like:
- How do you find microgrid developers, vendors and consultants?
- What should you consider when thinking about installing a microgrid for your community or operation?
- What are the opinions of people further along in microgrid adoption?
- How should you navigate regulations?
- How can you sell the idea to upper management?
- How will you be able to finance a microgrid?
There will be many vendors and consultants at this day-long conference for you to speak with. Yet, this session will be vendor free so you can speak candidly with other microgrid owners and operators. The panel will include people who’ve been where you are now with several of the same questions: The panelist include:
- Matt Alexander, Mayor of the Village of Wappinger Falls, NY
- Edward Bogucz, Syracuse Center of Excellence, Associate Professor
- Scott Kessler, the Brooklyn Microgrid
