6 FAQs about [Microgrid policy United States]
How does government support microgrids?
Support for microgrids comes from research and development (R&D) programs at federal and state levels, software and tools, grants and funding support to incentivize demonstration projects, and tax and financial incentives for the installation of distributed energy [2, 3, 6, 126].
Does the US have a microgrid system?
More recently, the U.S. DOE has focused on issues related to microgrid systems integration [ 45 ]. During the period from 2010 to 2017, microgrid capacity in the United States nearly tripled, increasing from roughly 700 MW to 2000 MW [ 11 ].

Many state policies directly and indirectly affect microgrid deployment. Across the U.S., 13 states have microgrid policies, 18 states have energy storage policies, and 38 states have renewable/clean energy standards or goals ( Appendix A compiled from Refs. [ 47, 57, 58 ]).
What is a microgrid?
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides the following definition of a microgrid : "A microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid.
Does the US have a role in developing remote microgrids?
The United States Agency for International Development has also taken advantage of DOE-developed expertise in their remote microgrid work in Africa1, Haiti2, and other rural and remote communities, which has provided valuable insight on technical, regulatory, and procedural rollout of microgrids in the United States.
How can states provide incentives for Microgrid R&D?
Approaches that states have taken to provide incentive for microgrid R&D include funding opportunities for microgrid demonstrations, tax incentives for installation of distributed energy, and innovative business models (e.g., Solar Power Purchase Agreement and the Property Assessed Clean Energy) for application of distributed energy.
