Think about the cost of power. Microgrids do not just run in the time of back up, they run all throughout the year. Hybrid-fueled microgrids give the ability to maximize your lowest-cost generation source and, in turn, that allows for the installation of renewable energy, which leads to more variety. And more variety means more resiliency.
