Construction of the nation’s largest transit microgrid is underway in Montgomery County, Md., providing infrastructure to support the Washington, D.C., suburb's ongoing transition to a 100% zero-emission bus transit fleet.
Developed with “energy as a service” provider AlphaStruxure, which will own and operate the microgrid, the project at the county’s existing 475,000-sq-ft equipment maintenance and transit operation center in Rockville will provide 5.65 MW of rooftop and canopy solar direct current generation and 6.88 MWh of battery energy storage.
