The City of Menlo Park, in partnership with Meta and ENGIE North America, built a microgrid for the Belle Haven Community Campus (BHCC) to connect a solar PV, solar thermal, and battery energy storage system (BESS) to develop an all-electric and net-zero public building.

The 37,000-square-foot campus opened to the public on May 18, 2024. The BHCC includes a senior center, community center, youth center, recreational pool, and branch library.  The introduction of this large solar installation will help the city of Menlo Park work toward its  goal of being carbon neutral by 2030 and decrease GHG emissions by 90% from 2005
levels within the next eight years.
