Microgrids explained

What is a microgrid?

What is a microgrid?

A microgrid is a self-contained electrical network that can operate either connected to the utility grid or in an independent “island” mode. This capability allows you to generate your own electricity on-site and use it as needed. By incorporating distributed energy resources (DER), a microgrid can help save on energy costs by sending excess electricity back to the grid during peak demand. This not only improves reliability but also optimizes energy management.
