Bus2Grid Members Win $15m Department of Energy Renew America's Schools Grant!

This project will install and deploy functional microgrids on the campus of 16 Illinois public school districts. On-site solar production, stationary storage, innovative HVAC controls, and bidirectional electric school bus batteries will be leveraged for financial savings and emissions reductions. Microgrids will establish the resilience necessary for the buildings to serve as emergency shelters during extended grid outages & weather-related events. Project objectives include at least: 16 active microgrids, 22 gigawatts hours of added solar production, 10 megawatts of callable energy storage during times of peak demand, 8 megawatts of mobile emergency backup power to leverage during outages, local emergency shelters available during outages, and increased energy resilience.
