NERC has predicted a 1 in 10 chance of Nortwest grids shutting down - i.e. not being able to withstand power peaks to heat and drought. Hamless - a Utah-based company - has created renewable energy storage capacities for families most at risk of losing their power. It is a relatively lowe probability but in the event of a power outage, people relying on electrically-powered medical devices face serious risks. Hamless storage technology rely on microgrid structures.
