Priority Area: Clean Energy and Building Decarbonization
Barrier: Community Microgrid Deployment

Challenge/Local/State

Description

Challenge

Cost-Benefit and Market Frameworks Fail to Value Microgrid Resilience Benefits. Current cost-benefit analyses and market structures undervalue community resilience benefits—such as wildfire safety, PSPS protection, and emergency services—while preventing developers from capturing the full value of behind-the-meter storage. As a result, community microgrids are rarely financially viable without CCA or public intervention.
