INCREASED RESILIENCE

Microgrids provide a reliable power source during grid outages, ensuring continuous electricity supply.

EVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Enables the integration of clean energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting eco-friendliness

ENHANCED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Microgrids optimize energy usage, reducing waste and cutting down on energy costs

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Microgrids allow communities and facilities to reduce their dependence on the central power grid, increasing energy security

COST SAVINGS

By using local, often renewable energy sources and reducing transmission losses, microgrids can result in significant cost savings 

GRID SUPPORT

May provide services like frequency regulation and peak shaving, helping stabilize the larger grid

DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES

They facilitate the integration of distributed energy resources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, into the energy mix

CUSTOMIZATION

Microgrids can be tailored to specific needs, making them ideal for various applications, including industrial, community and remote settings

What is a Microgrid?

A localized energy system that generates, distributes, and manages electricity independently or in conjunction with the the main power grid

Purchasing Options

When considering the acquisition or financing of microgrids, there exists a spectrum of options tailored to diverse needs and circumstances. Tax credits and grants present compelling opportunities for organizations seeking to invest in sustainable energy solutions while offsetting costs. These incentives, often provided by governmental bodies, can significantly reduce the initial financial burden associated with microgrid implementation. Additionally, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Energy Service Agreements (ESAs) offer alternative pathways for financing. PPAs enable businesses to procure electricity from microgrid operators at predetermined rates over a specified period, thereby mitigating upfront expenses and providing long-term cost stability. Similarly, ESAs function on a service-based model, where the microgrid provider assumes ownership and operational responsibility, charging customers solely for the energy services rendered. Such agreements not only alleviate capital expenditure concerns but also ensure seamless ongoing operations and maintenance. By leveraging these diverse purchasing and financing mechanisms, organizations can embark on their journey towards energy resilience and sustainability with confidence and flexibility.
