Resilient by Design: Microgrids, Storage, and Community Energy Security

Communities and public safety facilities are turning to microgrids, distributed storage, and virtual power plants to boost reliability and protect critical operations during emergencies. Panelists will examine real-world deployments, from community-scale storage assets built for resilience and energy security to residential VPP programs enabled through demand response and smart home technologies. The discussion will focus on effective technologies, practical design lessons, and integration challenges.
