The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices is pleased to invite you to a webinar for state officials on September 1st from 1-2:00 PM ET. This webinar will feature state peers discussing successful programs that have deployed microgrids to improve the resiliency of transit infrastructure, police and fire stations, fueling stations, and other public facilities. NGA will also share an overview of microgrid technologies, state activities, and factors that states should take into account when considering these technologies.

The webinar is a follow-on to NGA's 2015 Learning lab on Enhancing State Energy Assurance Coordination. That effort brought together energy advisors and homeland security advisors or emergency managers from six states (Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island) to examine approaches being adopted by New Jersey and other leading states to improve coordination and collaboration among state agencies and between the state and local, federal, and private sector partners before and during energy emergencies. This topic was identified by the participants in the Learning Lab as a topic of interest for further exploration. More information about the Learning Lab can be found here.
