NASEO and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) released two new reports on design approaches and funding and financing options for states to consider in actions they take to support microgrid deployment. On March 3, NASEO and NARUC staff will present highlights and key takeaways from these papers and answer questions from the audience.

User Objectives and Design Approaches for Microgrids: Options for Delivering Reliability and Resilience, Clean Energy, Energy Savings, and Other Priorities explores customer motivations to install microgrids, and discusses how each one impacts the design of a microgrid. The companion paper, Private, State, and Federal Funding and Financing Options to Enable Resilient, Affordable, and Clean Microgrids, outlines potential options to fund and finance microgrid development.
