Get The ReportAccording to ABI Research, the number of microgrids worldwide is forecast to increase from 28,500 in 2025 to more than 77,000 by 2030. Asia-Pacific will lead the way as rural communities electrify and hospitals and factories increasingly require electricity that cannot be delivered by the main grid. The Middle East & Africa follows in second, driven by rural electrification and to support energy needs for remote mining sites.
What are microgrids?
A microgrid is a group of distributed energy resources that acts as a single controllable entity. They serve a defined area like a campus, hospital, or factory, and can also be small-scale, supporting rural populations. Microgrids connect to the national grid network but are often created to operate in “island-mode
Why are microgrids important?
Small microgrids are important because they provide us a way to bring electrification to remote communities that were economically unviable to reach by traditional means. These small-scale electrical grids will provide suppliers and their partners the opportunity to offer modular solutions that scale.
