Largest Industrial Microgrid

What is happening? Enchanted Rock is building the largest microgrid in California for Microsoft that will  use renewable natural gas (RNG) to offset fossil fuels. “Texas-based Enchanted Rock was one of the microgrid companies early out of the gate in using RNG, which allows developers to offer clean energy with the reliability of fossil fuels.”

Why is this important? The microgrid will be 100-MW and will include 224 natural gas generators, each with a 0.45 MW capacity

How will this be important? California is offering incentives- “covering up to 50% of an RNG project’s interconnection costs, with a cap of up to $1.5 million per project. The program is capped at $40 million statewide and has $10.5 million in incentive funding remaining, with nearly $50 million of applications in the queue, demonstrating the growing demand for RNG.”
