A look at PG&E''s community microgrid enablement program

What is the Community Microgrid Enablement Program? CMEP has roots in the 2018 state law SB 1339, which directed the CPUC to reduce barriers for commercial microgrid development by developing standards, tariffs, and other microgrid-related protocols. Early last year, the CPUC required the three California IOUs to accelerate the development of

PG&E''s comprehensive roadmap for enabling community microgrids

PG&E has developed a comprehensive process that includes a Community Microgrid Enablement Tariff, Microgrid Operating Agreement, Microgrid Islanding Study, Community Microgrid Enablement Program, Microgrid Incentive Program, Community Microgrid Technical Best Practices Guide, dedicated microgrid staff, and more.

PG&E Says It Is Laying Groundwork for Permanent, Multi-Customer Microgrids

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) launched its Community Microgrid Enablement Program (CMEP) to help communities identify, design and build permanent, multi-customer microgrids serving critical facilities and vulnerable customer groups. A microgrid is an electric system that can operate independently from the central energy grid.

Community Microgrids

The Community Microgrid Initiative is designed to achieve Community Microgrid demonstration projects that prove that local renewables connected to the distribution grid can provide at least 25% of the total electric energy consumed while maintaining grid reliability and power quality.

6 FAQs about [Community microgrid enablement program Germany]

Does your community need a microgrid enablement program?

If your community needs critical facility energy resilience for extreme weather, Public Safety Power Shutoff events, or other events, PG&E’s Community Microgrid Enablement Program can help.

What is the community microgrid initiative?

Does a community microgrid need utility cooperation?

Deploying a true Community Microgrid requires utility cooperation, which has been slow to come. The Redwood Coast Airport Microgrid (RCAM), being staged in Northern California in partnership with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), provides an example of the what can be done with utility cooperation.

Who should be involved in a community microgrid initiative?

For a Community Microgrid Initiative to be successful, all key community stakeholders must be aligned. These key stakeholders include property owners, residents, philanthropic funders, financiers, solution providers, utilities, policymakers, and municipalities.

Are there any Community Microgrids in California?

While deploying a true Community Microgrid requires utility cooperation, standalone microgrids are becoming more common around California and the US. In addition to the Clean Coalition’s projects detailed here, we have compiled a list of some of the microgrids around the country, including in California.

How can a more resilient power system improve grid reliability & security?

A more resilient power system: Cost-effectively enhance grid reliability and security, as well as power quality, through diversified energy portfolio and local balancing of energy supply and demand — and provide indefinite, renewables-driven backup power to critical facilities.
