Microgrid Program
We are facilitating the adoption of microgrids - distributed green energy assets such as EV Buses, solar, and batteries - in school districts
Why microgrids?
Microgrids provide benefits beyond reducing CO2 emissions
Environmental
Schools are integral to any community - making them carbon neutral through microgrids significantly reduces the CO2 footprint
Education
A microgrid at your school can provide hands-on educational opportunities for your students to learn about distributed energy resources
Cost Savings
Renewable assets offer significant cost benefits to schools' electricity bills (e.g. energy-to-the-grid, peak shaving, etc.)
Grid Resliency
Power outages are becoming more frequent due to climate change - microgrids allow schools to dispatch electricity during outages
State and nationwide mandates make it imperative for schools to transition to clean technology in the next few years
Government Legislation
Values
A microgrid at your school shows students and other community stakeholders your school's strong commitment to environmental sustainability
Why use ZeroCarbon?
Through our strong partner network, we can provide financial analysis and a full report to help your school determine if it would make sense to install a microgrid at your school.
We can also connect you with our ecosystem of schools for references. From there, once you've determined it makes sense for your school to invest in a microgrid, we can connect you with the right vendors to help with installing the infrastructure.
