Community Colleges — Microgrid Candidates

where to build · what to build

California's ~115 community colleges are strong microgrid hosts: a trained trade workforce + living lab, locally-governed anchor institutions (social license), and often the town's emergency shelter. One instrumented college (De Anza) lets us size a microgrid for all of them.
