It involves the use of smaller-scale energy resources that are located closer to where the energy is needed, providing a more localized and flexible approach to energy production.
Today, the state runs a full-scale microgrid program offering incentives for microgrid projects at critical facilities. Funding is typically is applied to design, engineering, and interconnection costs.
Considering the typical microgrid design scenario of sizing generation to match peak load, Table 1 provides a rough sense of the power generation capacity required for a microgrid depending on the

The United States Department of Energy Microgrid Exchange Group defines a microgrid as "a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid. A microgrid can connect and disconnect from the grid to enable it to operate in both grid-connected or island-mode."
