Utility provider San Diego Gas & Electric also is contracting to deploy solar-storage microgrids within the city. Microgrids already loom large across the scenic San Diego landscape, from the University of California at San Diego campus to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton near Oceanside. The city and Gridscape predict the microgrids will also offset more than 2,100 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year. “We firmly believe that together, we can create a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.” “We are honored to have been a part of this remarkable project and to support the city in its journey towards a more resilient and greener future,” the company said on LinkedIn in highlighting the Southcrest launch event. Gridscape says the projects will consist of 960 kW of solar PV systems in various rooftop and carport configurations, 2.175-MWh of battery energy storage assets and 12 EV charging stations.

It also could help customers avoid more than $420,000 in energy costs annually, according to the report.Īll of the solar emergency microgrids being installed in the San Diego projects are being financed and owned by Shell New Energies. The eight San Diego microgrids being deployed by Gridscape provide a variety of services, from backup power during shutoff events to increased emergency capability for neighborhoods, EV charging stations and more, the company says. "This decentralized approach will not only enhance energy resilience but also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and minimizes environmental impact," the company added. “We were surrounded by enthusiastic community members, industry experts, and local leaders who came together to embrace the power of microgrids.
“The event in Southcrest was nothing short of extraordinary,” Gridscape enthused about the groundbreaking on its LinkedIn page.
SOLAR BATTERY BACKUP SAN DIEGO SERIES
Gridscape held a launch event this past week in the Southcrest area to celebrate the series of new distributed energy resources in the near future. San Diego is working with renewable energy developer Gridscape Solutions on the installation of eight new microgrids. One of the nation’s biggest cities for microgrid deployment is celebrating the launch of a multitude of new decentralized on-site power projects all across the vast municipal boundary.
