Cuyahoga Green Energy Administrator Mike Foley recently spoke to the Middleburg Heights Streets Committee about establishing microgrids in the city to generate electricity.MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio -- With demand increasing for electricity, and the ever-present potential for severe storms or destructive acts against major electric suppliers, it makes sense to establish small-scale power systems that work independently when outages occur.
“The idea behind Cuyahoga Green Energy is to build in more clean energy resiliency and affordable electricity … for the industrial/commercial/manufacturing districts that we’ve identified,” he said. “If the power goes down, we’ll be able to keep power up for a number of hours to a number of days,” he emphasized. “It depends on what the customers’ needs are.”
A three-party agreement would be executed among the county, the LLC created for the microgrid and the customers who take power from the microgrid.
