## A white paper by Veolia

Across the U.S, cities and facilities with mission-critical energy requirements have begun a paramount shift from centralized energy generation to local-renewable and flexible distributed energy resources.

Distributed energy concepts like microgrids have become viable and sustainable energy strategies thanks to major technological advancements, rapidly falling equipment prices, and an evolving regulatory environment.

Compounding this, extreme weather events like Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma, and Maria have made clear the risks to critical facilities and infrastructure inherent in traditional energy distribution systems.
