Reform Regulatory and Interconnection Rules to Enable Community-Scale Microgrids and Power Sharing. The state should reform CPUC and utility rules to allow multi-site community microgrids, enable power transfer across parcels and public rights-of-way, streamline interconnection, and support electrification of buildings and transportation using locally produced electricity. Coordinated state and federal action is needed to remove utility-imposed constraints and make community microgrids feasible at scale.
