A supporter of clean energy, Panetta represents California’s 20th Congressional District, which includes Monterey and San Benito counties, as well as other parts of the central coast. Panetta introduced a bill (H.R. 2482) into the US House of Representatives that’s designed to increase the deployment of microgrids in California and beyond by making them more affordable. The bill is called the Making Imperiled Communities Resistant to Outages with Generation that is Resilient, Islandable and Distributed Act, or MICROGRID Act. Panetta discusses how microgrids can improve reliability and resiliency during times of crisis and beyond.
