Microgrids accelerate energy transition
by Schneider Electric

Microgrids are small-scale power grids (electricity networks) and are an important link in the energy transition.

They offer a win-win situation for users and grid operators and are key to success for the growing deployment of renewable energy sources and meeting climate goals.

Microgrids can help to

  • incorporate renewable energy sources make best use of energy storage
  • adapt our consumption to renewable energy generation and
  • additionally, to respond to the rapidly changing energy market, including buying energy with a variable tariff at a convenient time.

Global electricity demand is estimated to increase by 70% by 2040 compared to 2015, according to estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

This remarkable increase is forcing utilities worldwide to seek answers to complex issues surrounding energy.

How can we consume almost twice as much electricity while reducing fossil fuel emissions?

And how should current energy systems evolve to meet this growing demand?
