16 Needs and Benefits Industry experts and airport and public transit stakeholders suggested that four project tenets or metrics were important to them: reliability, resiliency, affordability, and sustainability. Depending on specific design attributes, microgrids have the potential to fulfill all four project metrics, increasing power reliability and resiliency while reducing ongoing costs and carbon emissions.

Benefits to Airports and Public Transit Entities 17 Affordability and Cost Risk Reduction Cost is a complex aspect of energy projects because technology advances and market forces are decreasing the costs of microgrid systems while electricity and fuel costs are volatile. Future fuel costs cannot be accurately predicted, creating uncertainty about the true future costs of systems.
