Think local:
meet microgrids
Whether you’re looking to reduce your carbon emissions, respond to consumer and stakeholder demands, control costs, or pursue climate resilience and energy stability, microgrids provide smart solutions.
How does my community use microgrids?
A microgrid is an energy system that serves a relatively small geographic footprint—they are self-sufficient, utilize local generation sources, and can usually store energy.

Incorporating a microgrid into energy infrastructure—regardless of industry or location—improves efficiency, sustainability, and reliability.
It’s a given that renewable energy options such as solar, wind, geothermal, and waterpower reduce carbon footprint. When it comes to microgrids, energy assets can be scaled to operational needs, while right-sizing generation to meet future growth.
Energy on demand
With a high consumption footprint, campuses such as universities, hospitals, malls, and military bases use microgrids to ensure they can meet varying stakeholder demands.

Institutional
Power stability
Microgrids address the issues of non-islanded power and a reliance on local grids. Industrial leaders in mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, or heavy industrial processes use microgrids to stay online around the clock or in remote locations.

Finding cost savings
In suburban or rural communities, renewable energy solutions offset carbon and help manage the rising cost of electricity, helping keep the lights on.

Managing consumer energy demand is a crucial application of power storage. When microgrids store and disburse energy, they provide flexibility and resiliency for stakeholders and their needs.
Consumer and stakeholder demand
+
From coastline superstorms to polar vortexes, power infrastructure needs to look towards climate resilience and energy security—microgrids provide a stable local grid people can rely on.
Climate resilience or energy stability

Get Started
These compact grids can be powered by solar panels, hydropower (including pumped storage), liquefied natural gas (LNG), geothermal, hydrogen, small nuclear, wind turbines, and other energy sources. They can improve reliability and protect against grid instability through local generation, energy storage, real time system data, and power generation forecasting. Once integrated into your site, a microgrid provides your facility, campus, or community with the power you need when you need it.
