Port of San Diego to Install a Solar-Powered Microgrid with $5 Million Grant from California Energy Commission Shannon Bresnahan | Smart Grid, Solar Energy 

As an environmental champion and mover of goods throughout the world, the Port of San Diego — a longtime active member of Cleantech San Diego — has secured a nearly $5 million grant for the installation of a renewable, solar-powered microgrid at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal, one of the Port’s two marine cargo terminals.
 
At its meeting on June 12, 2018, the Board of Port Commissioners authorized a grant funding agreement for the microgrid project with the California Energy Commission (CEC). The grant agreement includes $4,985,272 from the CEC, $4,427,973 in matching funds from the Port, and an additional $201,963 in matching funds from the University of California San Diego, a partner with the Port on this project. The total cost of the project is anticipated to be approximately $9,600,000.
