The United States Navy plans to get 100% of its electrical power needs from carbon-free sources by 2030, with at least 50% coming from local power generation and on-base generation.
The service, in its updated climate strategy, asks for more investment in distributed generation and cybersecure microgrids, as well as green electricity purchases from utility-scale providers. Microgrid technology can isolate the crucial shoreside power needs of the service from grid instability or outage. The goal is to seize control and allow mission completion during grid instability.
