Sustainability Street: The Power of Microgrids

In today’s energy-driven economy, microgrids play an increasingly critical role. These local self-contained electrical systems supplement the power supply from the main grid while providing resiliency and the opportunity to incorporate alternative sources of energy.

Welcome back to Sustainability Street, our podcast on the intersection of commercial real estate and the world we live in. For this episode on microgrids, my guest is Doug Mackenzie, vice president, Energy Resilience, for JLL’s Clean Energy and Infrastructure Advisory team. Mackenzie and I discuss how microgrids help drive profitability and enable sustainability objectives for commercial real estate owners and users. Here’s a sample of the topics we covered:
