A Game-Changer for Clean Energy

The Aerozone Microgrid is transforming Cuyahoga County’s energy landscape. As the first microgrid electrical utility in the United States, this initiative is backed by Cuyahoga Green Energy, a $300,000 investment supported by a $1.8 million US Department of Energy grant, and a 10-year partnership with Compass Energy Platform.

How the Microgrid is Powering Northeast Ohio’s Future

  • Reliable, Sustainable Power: Offers 99.99% uptime, ensuring businesses and emergency services stay operational even during outages.
  • Clean Energy Leadership: Integrates solar arrays and battery storage to power businesses with renewable electricity.
  • Scalability & Growth: Plans are in motion to expand solar infrastructure and transition over 90% of Aerozone’s electricity to renewable energy sources within the next decade.

With its focus on economic resilience and green innovation, the Aerozone Microgrid positions the region as a model for sustainable energy solutions nationwide.

Rethinking Transportation Infrastructure

The Aerozone Sustainable Roadway Initiative is exploring ways to transform our roads into regenerative ecosystems by incorporating recycled materials, renewable energy generation, and smart EV charging solutions.

Inspired by The Ray, a Georgia-based model for net-zero infrastructure, the Aerozone is evaluating:

  • Pavement Recycling & Circular Economy Solutions: Utilizing recycled plastics, repurposed materials, and waste-derived concrete to reduce landfill waste.
  • Solar-Powered Roads & EV Charging: Piloting highway solar installations and wireless EV charging to support the shift toward electric mobility.
  • Biodiversity-Friendly Roadways: Integrating native plant species along highway corridors to combat soil erosion and promote pollinator-friendly ecosystems.

By redefining road construction in Cuyahoga County, the Aerozone is creating a blueprint for sustainable urban development.
