ComEd announced today that it successfully conducted a test proving that the Bronzeville Community Microgrid can keep power flowing in the event of an emergency. The “simulated islanding” test checked the resiliency of the microgrid by mimicking events that have the potential to affect power delivery, including major weather events or cyber security or acts of terrorism.

As the realities of climate change become more apparent, projects like the Bronzeville Community Microgrid support efforts to integrate additional renewable generation, including wind and solar while enhancing resiliency for communities.
