Combine energy procurement, efficiency and load balancing to turn your building's energy into an asset by tapping into the microgrid opportunity. A microgrid is a self-contained electrical network that allows you to generate your own electricity on-site and use it when you need it most. A microgrid is thus a type of distributed energy resource. You can operate microgrids while connected to the utility grid or in disconnected island mode. When the grid goes down or electricity prices peak, microgrids respond. And now, with energy-as-a-service financing, we can help you build a microgrid with zero upfront cost.
