Case Study
Turning a Town Hall into a Microgrid
Read on: Turning a Town Hall into a MicrogridMt. Hood Town Hall is a community gathering place in the Upper Hood River Valley. It acts as a recycling center, community meals distribution hub, middle-school classroom, a venue for special public events, and a relief center during emergencies. Originally built in 1914 and owned by Hood River County, the facility is a registered historic building.
Due to its geography, Hood River County faces unique outage-inducing events including wildfires, ice storms, earthquakes, high temperatures, and high winds. Much attention was drawn to this in 2018, when the Hood River County Energy Plan was adopted, making energy resilience a top priority.
Fast forward to September 2023: With a specific site for a microgrid in mind and a list of resiliency goals in hand, Hood River County received a grant from the Oregon Department of Energy’s Community Renewable Energy Grant Program to fully fund a microgrid feasibility study for the proposed project.
