About this listen

In this episode, explore three ways NREL researchers are creating energy solutions for small, remote, and rural regions:

  • How a microgrid project on Martha’s Vineyard is strengthening the island’s energy resilience and reliability during outages
  • How NREL’s ARIES platform is being used to test new electrification scenarios for airports—before infrastructure is built
  • How geothermal heat stored underground could help meet building heating needs in Alaska’s Arctic climate
