Therefore, the proposed Microgrid has been designed and optimized to meet resilience requirements, allowing SRJC to maintain business continuity through partial-day outages, as well as provide emergency services to students, staff, and the local community during longer outages. The proposed Microgrid will also address the college’s environmental impact goals and related policy goals. The SRJC campus is currently reliant on electrical power from the PG&E grid, which uses approximately 15% fossil-derived energy sources, whereas the proposed Microgrid would supply approximately 29% of the campus total electricity demand with 100% emissions-free PV solar energy. Further, recommendations have also been made regarding how utilities and community colleges can apply the approaches outlined to overcome identified roadblocks to streamline the Microgrid design process. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Mid-Sized Global Consultancy](https://xendee.com/hubfs/power-plant-800x450.jpg)](https://xendee.com/insights/mid-sized-global-consultancy) #### [Mid-Sized Global Consultancy](https://xendee.com/insights/mid-sized-global-consultancy) A Consulting company was asked to determine the optimal use of land at a series of retired / soon-to-be-retired coal mines & power plants in North...
