MICROGRIDS

Maher Terminals, USA & Canada Operations

Maher Terminals, USA & Canada Operations

 Greener by Design (GbD) provides   

understanding of the still complex world of DG and microgrid development. 

While there are many DG and Combined Heat & Power (CHP) projects that have islandable capabilities and could be considered “microgrids”, the recent impetus to make microgrids a priority was a need for more resilient systems following such natural disasters as Superstorm Sandy. Working with experts from across the United States including Sandia National Lab, the Rocky Mountain Institute, the U.S. Department of Energy, and a host of utilities, regulators and universities.  

Walter Reed Hospital, East Baltimore Development Inc., Staten Island EDC, the Cities of Hoboken, Seaside Heights, and Woodbridge and a host of private sector portfolios hired GbD to begin the process of designing ‘islandable’ systems that recognize the need for both resilient emergency power and economically viable MicroGrids.
