The Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam SPIDERS Phase I microgrid was a federal cyber-secure controls demonstration integrating diesel generation, solar, uninterruptible loads, black-start capability, and grid-tied export. Federal sources report 150 kW solar and 2.4 MW diesel; the older directory's wind and storage figures are retained separately as unverified historical claims.
