Join us for a meaningful session hosted by the AESP Advancing System & Climate Resilience Topic Committee, focusing on the role of microgrids in enhancing energy independence within Indigenous communities. Led by Matt Dannenberg, this presentation will showcase the experiences of 2-3 microgrid project leaders who have pioneered innovative microgrid projects in their communities.
We will explore the challenges faced by these communities in developing and sustaining their microgrids, including technical, financial, and regulatory obstacles. The discussion will also address how these leaders have navigated and addressed diverse perspectives among project stakeholders to ensure inclusive and respectful collaboration.
Additionally, the session will share important lessons learned from these initiatives, providing insights that can be applied to other communities and contexts. This discussion aims to offer a deeper understanding of how microgrids can bolster energy resilience and autonomy, particularly in remote and historically underserved Indigenous communities.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify lessons learned from these initiatives.
- Insights that can be applied to other communities and contexts
- Foster a deeper understanding of how microgrids can bolster energy resilience and autonomy, particularly in remote and historically underserved Indigenous communities.
