Washington, D.C.: $19.95 Million
Project Description
This project will construct a microgrid at the Saint Elizabeth's Hospital Campus to provide resilient power to the Unified Communications Center—which provides vital communication, including 911 service, to the area—as well as the existing Saint Elizabeth's behavioral health hospital and other essential loads on the campus. The microgrid will provide a redundant and resilient power source and reliable access to health care and emergency services for D.C. residents, including disadvantaged populations.
