Summary

Microgrids often face multiple regulatory hurdles under state energy regulation and may have limited access to markets for services that they can provide to the grid while also serving their included load.  They also can present financing challenges, in part because of the limited markets.  This presentations discusses:

• Legal barriers to different ownership models for microgrids
• Special challenges for multi-party microgrids
• Structuring options to overcome legal obstacles
• Markets for microgrid services to the grid
• Financing options and how they interact with ownership structures
