Historically, Tribal communities suffer from higher service costs, higher interconnection fees, more blackouts or brownouts, and remote and distant service locations. Distributed, on-site power generation future-proofs power availability and equips tribal communities with a competitive advantage on energy costs over the traditional utility service. The Soboba microgrid will work in energy savings mode when the utility is available and will also back up the facility for short-term and long-term outages.
