Advances in technology, say today’s guests on Davisville, make it possible to create a community microgrid in new parts of Davis that would deliver clean, resilient, solar-powered energy to its customers for less than Pacific Gas & Electric charges. To accomplish this, Davis would need to form a municipal utility, and a developer building on vacant land would need to sign on. If the community microgrid succeeds, the model could be repeated throughout the state.

Ari Halberstadt and Lorenzo Kristov, who have been working on the project, explain how it all would come together, including why the microgrid would have to serve new customers who aren't already served by PG&E.
