Set standards of protection

Currently there are no established standards for protection against the multiple threats that microgrids face from:

• EMP

• Solar mass ejections

• Cyberattacks

• Physical attacks

• Mismanagement of the macrogrid

• Insufficient storage capacity

Activists and community leaders need to know what it takes to protect their communities’ microgrids. As a non-profit, we can serve as a credible, impartial source for information and the establishment of standards for such protection.

Identify where they’re going and if they’ll be protected

New microgrids can be protected faster, easier and less expensively than the national grid

• Many microgrids are being built now and many more will be built in the future.

• These projects can be overseen at the local level

• We need help identifying projects in the planning stage so we can inform concerned members of the community who can influence local leaders about the opportunity to protect these projects effectively and affordably before it’s too late.

• We plan to create an open database of such projects for public reference.
