Also referred to as “community” or “town center” microgrids, local government microgrids are defined as “microgrids developed in downtown areas of communities that deliver power to a physically non-contiguous group of critical facilities, often involving multiple distributed energy resources and crossing multiple public rights of way.” The Final Report of findings was written by Marc Pfeiffer of the Bloustein Center for Local Government Research with support from the NJIT Center for Building Knowledge. The multi-year research project – focused on procuring and financing local government microgrids – was undertaken by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities with financial support from the United States Department of Energy.  The Report complements and extends the information presented in the Fact Sheets + Webinars section of Microgrids.io. Over the course of the project, an online Survey was developed and administered to learn details about local government projects generally and procurement and financing specifically. Results are discussed in the Final Report. A copy of the Survey questions can be found here.
