Fremont's innovative approach to climate resilience is receiving national attention! Our fire station microgrid project is featured in a new report, “Building Community Resilience: How Local Leaders are Advancing Resilience Hubs and Bolstering Critical Infrastructure.” The report is published by the Alliance for a Sustainable Future, which is a partnership between the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. One of their goals is to inform mayors, local officials, and business leaders of innovative new strategies that could present an opportunity for their own communities to reach their climate goals.
In the report, Fremont is highlighted as a prime example of how cities are strengthening critical infrastructure facilities. The report includes a case study describing how Fremont’s fire station microgrids—solar panels and battery energy storage systems—ensure emergency services remain operational during power outages. This national spotlight highlights the City’s commitment to building a more resilient, climate-ready future for our community.
We thank the Alliance for a Sustainable Future for featuring Fremont and helping to advance community resilience efforts nationwide.
