Guidehouse Insights 2023 Microgrid Integrator Leaderboard
At a time where extreme weather events increasingly impact network resilience and there is emphasized need and importance to decarbonize, microgrids provide the flexibility to source clean, self-generated power from local distributed energy resources (DER), such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and battery storage. Businesses looking to protect their operations from the risk of outages and fluctuating energy prices turn to microgrid integrators to facilitate the installation of microgrid assets and provide the technologies to control and optimize their operation. Microgrid investments from the business and government sectors alike are necessary to meet the sustainable energy and DER needs of buildings, especially on the heels of the recent
near $1 billion fund for clean federal buildings from the Biden Administration.
