PECO is engaging in a collaborative with interested stakeholders to determine how to best proceed with the implementation of microgrid technology across the region. There is a need to invest in innovative technologies, like microgrids, that will help transform the future energy experience for customers. Electric system resiliency is becoming increasingly important as customers become more reliant on the power grid.

Microgrids are designed to strengthen the reliability and resiliency of the power grid and provide geographic locations that can maintain power and provide vital community services to customers when a region experiences widespread outages.
