| | | | | | As climate change increases summer temperatures in Oregon, one farm struggling with decreased crop production is deploying a microgrid with agrivoltaics to provide solar, shade and resilience. A bonus: The taste of the lettuce grown with solar may be more appealing. |

| | | | 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... |

|
| | | | Under the planned water infrastructure power project, microgrids using battery energy storage and managed by distributed energy resources management systems (DERS) would form virtual power plants (VPPs) which could deliver load reduction during times of grid stress. |

| | | | Energy resilience, health and economic development are among the non-energy benefits that should be included in California’s resource planning efforts, say groups participating in a proceeding before the California Energy Commission. But it’s especially complicated to place a value on resilience – and ensure that disadvantaged communities receive resilience... |
