maintain life-support conditions. To be eligible for this option, the project must have at least some critical equipment.

The design must include an automatic transfer switch and controls that enables the project to operate the project’s on-site renewable systems, energy storage, and critical equipment in the event of a power outage (referred to as islanding).
