6 FAQs about [Development of Northwest Five Microgrids]

What is a microgrid strategy?

The Strategy development process began with microgrid experts deliberating on areas the Strategy should focus on for impactful results in key metrics, such as reliability, resilience, decarbonization, and affordability, in the next five to ten years.

What drives microgrid development?

Resilience, efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, security, and reliability are key drivers for microgrid developments. These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity.

What will microgrids do in 2035?

By 2035, microgrids are envisioned to be essential building blocks of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience, decarbonization, and affordability. Microgrids will be increasingly important for integration and aggregation of high penetration distributed energy resources.

Are microgrids a path to a more distributed future?

The United States electricity sector is moving to a more distributed future. Microgrids offer a pathway to this future by providing opportunities to reduce costs and emissions while bolstering the resilience of the nation’s electricity system.

Are microgrids a viable business model?

The ownership and business models of microgrids are still evolving. Microgrids are now emerging from lab benches and pilot demonstration sites into commercial markets, driven by technological improvements, falling costs, a proven track record, and growing recognition of their benefits.

Where does microgrid development take place?

While the federal programs described above were the main engine of early U.S. microgrid research and development, there has always been significant activity at the state and local levels—often arising from self-generation projects, typically at large commercial, campus, medical, or industrial sites.
