The cost of power is going up, the reliability of power is going down, and there's going to be a run on solar project developments due to the accelerated phase-out of tariffs. One of the most effective solutions is microgrids, and we have a webinar for you—keynoted by Terry Boston, former CEO of PJM.

Can you trust the grid to be there in the future when you need it most? Not without big changes — and microgrids may be the key.

Microgrids are reshaping the future of resilient and sustainable power.
