Make Montecito Resilient and Reliable!

A renewable microgrid harnesses, stores and distributes energy from local renewable resources, increasing a community's energy reliability and resilience while also providing critical support services in the event of a power outage from grid failure or a natural disaster. The World Business Academy and the Clean Coalition have teamed up to provide the Montecito community with a sustainable energy solution during times of crisis. When completed, the Montecito Community Microgrid will ensure that vital services remain running during emergencies, and serve as a replicable model for other communities looking to transition California to a clean energy future. Come out on November 14, 2018, to hear a status update about this critical project, find out how you can get involved and make connections with other community members who are working to solve some of Montecito's electric infrastructure failures to have a more resilient and reliable community.
