Minnesota Selects Microgrid Institute for CHP Stakeholder Engagement

The Minnesota Department of Commerce selected Microgrid Institute for a two-part project addressing combined heat and power (CHP) stakeholder engagement in the state. The project includes a pair of contracts to perform work that will assist the Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources, in its efforts to develop a CHP Action Plan for the state. Microgrid Institute’s work under the contracts will include facilitating CHP stakeholder engagement meetings and performing a series of stakeholder surveys. Project deliverables will include survey results, reports, analysis, and recommendations, as well as a CHP Stakeholder Database and a CHP Education & Training plan. The Division of Energy Resources awarded the contracts to Microgrid Institute as the result of two competitive requests for proposals (RFP) announced in May 2014. The project was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
