About Montecito Community Microgrid Initiative - Resiliency Fund
The Montecito Community Microgrid Initiative (MCMI) provides a unique opportunity to rebuild with resilience following 2018’s devastating fire and debris flow in this disaster-prone region — while ensuring indefinite renewables-driven backup power for critical emergency response and recovery facilities. A renewable microgrid harnesses, stores and distributes energy from local renewable resources, increasing a community's energy reliability and resilience while also providing critical support services in the event of a power outage from grid failure or a natural disaster. When completed, the MCMI will ensure that vital services remain running during emergencies and serve as a replicable model for other communities looking to transition California to a clean energy future. Help the Clean Coalition and World Business Academy complete this project! Your contribution will help bring much-needed resilience to the Montecito community and eventually our entire region.
