In November 2022, a plane was caught in electrical wires for several hours in Montgomery County, and it was the microgrids at the Animal Shelter and Adoption Center that made it possible for the facility to remain open. This event will be the official announcement of the microgrids and reinforce how essential they are to enable the shelter to remain operational during a power outage.
