From Texas to California, Puerto Rico, and beyond we’ve recently seen some tragic examples of why the grid is no longer enough. From wildfires to digital dependence, a range of natural and societal changes requires electric reliability beyond what the grid alone can offer. The customer is demanding more of the grid these days as our world becomes more electrified, and that means that power outages are becoming more and more expensive. What does reliance on the grid cost your operation — and how can you get the cost down?
This panel is moderated by Elisa Wood, Editor-in-Chief, Microgrid Knowledge.

Mark Feasel, President, Smart Grid, Schneider Electric
Shawn Bennett, Senior Advisor, US Air Force Office of Assurance

This video was recorded during Microgrid 2021: The World Awakens to Microgrids, a virtual conference held over four weeks in May and June of 2021. The event featured more than 60 speakers across 20 sessions and was designed to educate sustainability and facility managers, energy decision-makers and others curious about microgrids. The overarching theme of the conference focused on the energy, financial, and sustainability benefits that microgrids can offer facilities — and society as a whole. Although this was previously recorded, you’ll find many of the examples and insights are timeless in their strategic value.
The sessions were designed to provide insight into business models, financing, government incentives and other microgrid funding. They also provide guidance when choosing technology and development partners for your microgrid project.
