Campus Microgrid Awarded $750,000 MEA Grant
Frostburg State University (FSU) and its partner Optimize Renewables have been awarded the first grant from Maryland’s new Resilient Maryland Capital Development program. The $750,000 grant will fund the construction and installation of the university’s resilient campus microgrid.
FSU’s microgrid plan calls for an integrated system that includes an advanced microgrid controller that will manage rooftop and ground-mounted solar arrays, solar parking lot canopies, integrated electric vehicle charging stations and renewable natural gas-powered fuel cells.
