| | | | | | Valley Children’s Healthcare in Madura plans to bring the microgrid into operation next year. The facility’s planners hope that the project will generate 80% of the hospital’s on-site energy needs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half and save $15 million in energy costs over the next 25 years. |

| | | | Sponsored | | Last month, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) said that U.S. power grids are becoming more susceptible to cyberattacks every day, with vulnerable attack vectors increasing by about 60 a day. What’s more, extreme weather events also place the grid and power supply at risk... |
