What are the best ways to communicate microgrid policy with the public?
Microgrids are localized networks of electricity generation and distribution that can operate independently or in coordination with the main grid. They offer many benefits for urban planning, such as enhancing resilience, reducing emissions, and improving efficiency. However, they also pose some challenges, such as regulatory barriers, technical complexity, and public acceptance. How can urban planners communicate microgrid policy with the public effectively and transparently? Here are some best practices to consider.
