JUPITER, Fla., Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Scheduled to broadcast summer 2022, Advancements with Ted Danson, will focus on developments in fleet electrification infrastructure and technology.

This segment of Advancements will explore Montgomery County, Maryland's Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot – the first fully resilient, sustainable Energy as a Service (EaaS) microgrid with EV charging solutions, serving fleet electrification. It will educate about the project, which enables the county's bus fleet to transition from diesel to electric, advancing the County's goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2035.

Spectators will see how the first-of-its-kind EaaS fleet electrification infrastructure project integrates solar photovoltaic canopies, onsite generation, battery energy storage, and electric bus chargers with Schneider Electric's (Schneider) leading microgrid controls, gear, and energy management software to ensure the fleet's continuous operation, regardless of utility outages.

"We are excited to serve as an integral partner in advancing Montgomery County's ambitious climate action plan to reach net-zero emissions by 2035. With transportation now the largest source carbon emissions in the U.S., decarbonizing this sector is critical to mitigating climate change. With the Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot, we are thrilled to be leading the way to fleet electrification, while helping this progressive county realize their long-term goals around resilience, reliability, and greenhouse gas reduction," said Juan Macias, CEO of AlphaStruxure.

Viewers will learn about the current shift to clean transportation and how EaaS can empower organizations to achieve set outcomes on greenhouse gas reduction, resilience, reliability, and cost stability without complexity or CapEx.

"Organizations are facing escalating energy costs, worsening power outages, and a growing imperative to enhance sustainability. We look forward to exploring how AlphaStruxure is transforming energy and sustainability into a strategic advantage through tailored decentralized energy solutions," said Mike Marino, producer for the Advancements series.
