Description

What are microgrids and how can they save money, reduce air pollution and provide carbon-free power and backup power? We interview Rachel DiFranco, Fremont's Sustainability Manager about the trail they blazed five years ago when they installed microgrids on three fire stations. And we're joined by Menlo Park Council Member Cecilia Taylor and Menlo Spark Executive Director Diane Bailey, to talk about how they are integrating a microgrid into the rebuild of a Menlo Park community center.ResourcesFremont Sustainability pageCA.gov info on Fremont Microgrid projectMicrogridKnowledge.com articleGridscape websiteWebinar done by Fremont and GridscapeFremont Green ChallengeMenlo Park main website page and climate action plan pageMenlo SparkNew community center breaks ground - articleCase studies, backgrounder, and slide deck on Fremont and Menlo Park
