 n\nAbout the talk:\n\nAbout the talk:\n\nWhen severe weather or other even
 ts take the electric grid down is your community ready? If your answer is 
 no\, a community Microgrid might be the solution.\n\nA Microgrid (MG) can 
 provide a source of localized power during a grid outage due to extreme we
 ather\, a Public Safety Power Shutoff event or other outage. In addition\,
  they can offer efficiency\, cost and environmental benefits. A community 
 MG is a group of PG&amp;E customers and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) wi
 thin a clearly defined electrical boundary able to disconnect and reconnec
 t to the grid\, so critical facilities can be safely energized.  They are 
 typically designed to provide energy resilience to important community fac
 ilities\, such as  Hospitals\,  Police and Fire Stations\, Gas Stations an
 d Markets.\n\nThe local DERs\, such as a solar photovoltaic (PV) system an
 d battery\, can be owned by third parties and can participate in wholesale
  markets for energy and related services. PG&amp;E will continue to own and op
 erate the distribution system on which the Microgrid capability is built.\
 n\nPG&amp;E’s Community Microgrid Enablement Program (CMEP) and Microgrid In
 centive Program (MIP) offer both financial and technical support.  Creatin
 g a community MG requires collaboration between your community\, a technic
 al engineering firm\, and PG&amp;E. The CMEP and MIP can help you take your co
 mmunity’s energy resilience ideas from concept to reality.\n\nThis prese
 ntation will offer a general definition of community MGs\, including archi
 tecture\, electrical design\, operational modes\, DER’s etc.\, and offer
  an example of an implemented solution. Also\, it will describe CMEP steps
  including Consultation\, Application\, Study &amp; Analysis\, Development\, O
 peration. The CMEP and MIP work together to fund all aspects of a communit
 y Microgrid. They support the development of clean community Microgrids in
  disadvantaged and vulnerable communities (DVCs). You can apply for either
  one individually\, or for both programs together.\n\n[PES/IAS web site](h
