After Hurricane Helene devastated parts of North Carolina, the small town of Hot Springs was able to restore crucial services quickly due to a renewable-powered microgrid.
Duke Energy equipped Hot Springs with a self-contained microgrid, enabling it to operate independently and restore power to critical facilities just days after the storm.
The microgrid utilized renewable energy sources, demonstrating that such systems can enhance community resilience, especially in areas prone to extreme weather events.
With its microgrid, Hot Springs functioned as the sole energy source for a week, showcasing the potential of renewable-powered microgrids in combating climate impacts.
