What is a microgrid?
A microgrid is a local energy system that combines generation (solar, wind), storage (batteries), and loads within a defined boundary. It can operate connected to the main grid or independently, providing resilience and reducing grid dependency.
Why microgrids matter for congestion
In areas with grid congestion, microgrids offer several advantages:
- Reduced grid load: Local generation and storage mean less power drawn from the congested grid
- Faster deployment: Don't wait for grid expansion — create your own local energy ecosystem
- Flex contract synergy: Microgrid batteries can participate in flex contracts for additional revenue
Microgrid applications
- Business parks and industrial zones
- New housing developments
- Construction sites and temporary installations
- Remote locations without grid access
