英文摘要	Climate change is having widespread impacts worldwide with rural and remote regions particularly at risk from the worst effects. Communities in these areas are responding by seeking to ensure an electricity supply that is more resilient, reliable, affordable, and cleaner. Microgrids are increasingly being deployed worldwide to provide these outcomes, but their application remains limited in most markets today. In 2019, the Australian government announced a grant program that would see almost $AUD45 million in funding to undertake microgrid feasibility studies for over 110 communities across Australia. Interviews were conducted with participants from a large proportion of these government -funded projects to explore the barriers encountered and how these compare to those cited in the international academic literature. It was found that the main barriers in Australia were related to the policy and regulatory framework, business models and a lack of transparency over revenues and costs, maintaining sustained levels of community engagement, and bridging the gap between feasibility and implementation. The findings can support increased microgrid deployment in Australia and overseas while helping inform future associated policies and programs to benefit those living and working in rural communities.
