Bundling

Example: Sustainability microgrid + Main Street overhaul

When reconstructing its entire main thoroughfare, Washington Street, the City of Hoboken, NJ  used the opportunity of extensive underground excavation to bury a microgrid. The City bundled one project into another.

The mile-long microgrid will provide emergency electricity to

• five shelters

• three senior-citizen and low-income residential complexes

• two supermarkets

• two pharmacies

• fire house

• police HQ

• City Hall

• two high-capacity pumps to eject stormwater from low-lying neighborhoods

Installing a microgrid for emergency power to key life-safety facilities became part of a complete reconstruction of the main thoroughfare of flood-prone Hoboken, N.J.
