The proposed improvements are as follows: The microgrid is intended to provide electrical power backup to the City of Mesa Public Safety campus (PD Campus) in downtown Mesa, Arizona, and to provide power export capabilities to the City of Mesa electrical distribution grid. The microgrid will consist of natural gas generators to generate three (3) to four (4) megawatts (MW) in nominal capacity serving the PD Campus under an electrical grid outage and provide power export applications to the Citys 12.47 kilovolt (kV) grid. To facilitate power distribution and control of the microgrid, the system will include the design and specification of new switchgear, breakers, transformers, generators, relays, protection, sensors, batteries, controls, load banks, foundations, uninterruptable power system (UPS), communications, and other associated work. The microgrid will require integration with the City of Mesas existing SCADA system, commercial building loads and designed upgrades to existing protection and communication systems to achieve safe, reliable electric distribution and microgrid system operations. The microgrid total estimated project cost is between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000 and is anticipated to be installed to provide campus power backup in the summer of 2023, with full power export functionality achieved in the fall of 2023.
