Go Electric’s new microgrid on wheels is a box that four people can lift and commission — and then move, if needed.
The mobile microgrid, now under development, also comes on a trailer.
And it can run in silent mode. Best of all, it can reduce the use of diesel and other fossil fuels significantly — by up to 80 percent while operating 24/7.
If it sounds like it’s perfect for military bases, that’s because it was designed for the US military.
Go Electric — which has secured about $8 million in military contracts to date — has been awarded an $887,535 Small Business Innovation Research Rapid Innovation Fund contract to develop a modular microgrid for the US Africa Command (Africom), said Lisa Laughner, president and CEO, Go Electric.
“Our standard solution is a turnkey microgrid. Most of what we’ve done has been at stationary buildings and bases. This is a turnkey microgrid on wheels,” she said.
This project is also Go Electric’s first foreign military contract. Africom is responsible for all U.S. Department of Defense operations on the African continent, its island nations and surrounding waters.
