A Washington, D.C. university will install a microgrid on its campus in an effort to improve resilience, produce clean energy, and reduce its energy costs.
Scale Microgrid Solutions and Urban Ingenuity will develop the project for Gallaudet University, a leading institution for deaf and hard of hearing students. The project will feature 2.5 MW of solar PV panels on campus rooftops and parking garages, a 1.2 MW/2.5MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system from Tesla, and a 4.5 MW combined cooling, heat, and power system.
The project is expected to go online by the fall of 2023.
