Episode Synopsis "Partnering with the Community on Resiliency Planning for Major Disasters"

Portland General Electric partnered with the City of Beaverton to build a community resilience microgrid to support the Beaverton Public Safety Center and Police Department. PGE’s approach to partnering with the community to identify potential sites for microgrid projects may be a starting point for many other utilities exploring resiliency planning for major disasters. This discussion is led by Darren Murtaugh, Senior Manager of Grid Edge Solutions at Portland General Electric.
