President Joe Biden is expected to release an infrastructure plan this month that sounds ready-made for microgrids. His goal, he said, is to make infrastructure “more climate resilient” to achieve “cheaper and cleaner” transport.
Although microgrids seem like a perfect match for Biden’s plan, it’s uncertain how much they will play into it. Washington is well aware of solar, wind and energy storage, but microgrids, not so much. The technology, as used today, is still relatively new to the game. So microgrids don’t seem to be high on Biden’s radar. At least, he’s not using the term much, so far, when he talks about clean energy.
