In conjunction with Gallaudet’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, the University has decided to construct a world class clean energy microgrid that will deliver locally generated electricity and thermal power to campus facilities. Following a solicitation that attracted industry leading companies from throughout the country, the University selected a project team led by Urban Ingenuity and Scale Microgrid Solutions—alongside a consortium of industry leading technology and contracting partners—to design, build, and operate a project that will set a new standard for clean energy in the nation’s capital.
Microgrid Capacity at Gallaudet
These components will operate in parallel to meet most of the University’s electricity demand. Additionally, Gallaudet plans to host 2400 kW of additional solar capacity that will be available to DC residents through the Community Renewable Energy Facility (CREF) Program. This additional solar capacity will generate enough renewable electricity to meet the demands of 1500 households or small businesses in DC.
