This Microgrid provides 85% of campus electrical needs with distributed energy resources, including electricity delivered to 135 ChargePoint EV charging stations. The project itself, in partnership with the University and Idaho National Laboratory, enhanced our platform capabilities to include Microgrid Fast Charging Stations and was another successful on-campus usage of Xendee.
