This Project Grant award, funded by the Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories program (CFDA 15.875), provides $2,500,000.00 to the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC) to address critical grid vulnerabilities associated with increased penetration of distributed energy resources, particularly rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The project will integrate two 600 kW battery energy storage systems at strategic load centers in the Capitol Hill and Susupe Villages on the island of Saipan. This will enhance grid frequency stabilization, mitigate solar PV intermittencies, and reduce reliance on diesel generators for frequency regulation, benefiting the residents of the CNMI. The award has a performance period from Sep 24, 2025 to Sep 30, 2030.
