Murkowski, Lisa [R-AK] Lisa Murkowski R AK N Energy Alternative and renewable resources Electric power generation and transmission Energy efficiency and conservation Infrastructure development Rural conditions and development Energy 00 2015-05-06 Introduced in Senate 2015-06-16T20:28:44Z This bill requires the Department of Energy to develop an implementation strategy to promote the development of hybrid micro-grid systems for isolated communities, particularly communities exposed to extreme weather conditions and high costs of energy, including electricity, space heating and cooling, and transportation.

A hybrid micro-grid system is a stand-alone electrical system composed of conventional generation and at least one alternative energy resource.

Mandatory considerations in developing the strategy include:

  • the potential for renewable resources, including wind, solar, and hydropower, to be integrated into a hybrid micro-grid system;
  • the capacity of the local workforce to operate, maintain, and repair a hybrid micro-grid system; and
  • the need for basic infrastructure to develop, deploy, and sustain a hybrid micro-grid system.
