Renewable Energy Magazine: California School District develops two solar and storage microgrids

Sage Energy Consulting has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for two new solar and storage microgrids for the Temecula Valley Unified School District, specifically the K8 Steam Academy in Winchester, California, and the Rancho Elementary School in Temecula, California.

The microgrids are designed for three hours or more of backup to the schools, providing power to critical loads at each campus during a grid outage and avoiding the need for diesel generators. The RFP solicits bidders to construct the solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage microgrids at both schools, with the option of operating and maintaining the systems.
