How Microgrids Boost Energy Resilience and Cut Facility Costs

Why Microgrids Are Key to Reliable, Lower-Cost Energy Systems

Frequent extreme weather events, rising energy demand, and aging grid infrastructure are putting new pressure on the nation’s power systems. To ensure energy resilience and maintain continuity of operations, facilities are turning to microgrids — localized systems that provide onsite power generation, energy storage, and grid independence. 

In this two-part FacilitiesNet/NFMT series, Thornton Tomasetti’s Emily Kunkel explores how microgrids enhance resilience, reduce operational costs, and support carbon-conscious design through smarter microgrid engineering and system integration.
