"Microgrids are the key to change"

Microgrids 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 adoption of renewable energy sources and meeting climate goals.

Microgrids help to accommodate renewable energy sources, make the best use of energy storage, adapt our consumption to renewable energy generation and also respond to the rapidly changing energy market, including buying energy with a variable tariff at a favourable time.

In the webinar 'Microgrids are the keys for change', Joep Dekker would like to explain, what role Microgrids play in the energy transition.
