Dispatches is a webinar series brought to you by Mayfield Renewables and Outfit. In each episode, you will learn about the real-world application of emerging technologies and the projects they impact.

Community microgrids are moving from concept to reality, and Oregon’s AR 681 framework is helping reshape how these projects get planned, studied, and ultimately delivered. Episode 33 of Dispatches will explore how policy, engineering, and community priorities are converging to unlock new commercial pathways for resilience, with a particular focus on feasibility, interconnection, and the market signals needed to accelerate adoption.

Hosts Robert and Lucas will be joined by Kevin Wright of ProtoGen and Alex Clingman from Sustainable Northwest to discuss the role each organization plays in advancing community microgrids. The conversation will cover how AR 681 is changing the project development process, why it matters to utilities and communities alike, and what the next phase of implementation could mean for developers, consultants, and other stakeholders watching this market evolve.

Join us on Thursday, November 12 at 12 PM PT to discover how AR 681 is reshaping community microgrids. Register and submit questions to our panel!
