PowerSecure is partnering with Kit Carson Electric Cooperative (KCEC) on a microgrid project in Northern New Mexico, focusing on enhancing grid resilience. The initiative includes the construction of three microgrids equipped with battery energy storage systems (BESS).

These facilities will support critical loads during severe events, including wildfires and extreme weather conditions. Currently under construction, the project will add 7.5 MW of BESS (38.25 MWh), allowing for public safety power shutoffs while maintaining local power services. This collaboration aims to ensure reliable and sustainable power delivery to KCEC's service area.
