Key microgrid trends impacting the new energy landscape
Read about the transformative trends underscoring how microgrids are driving the New Energy Landscape in 2025.
Microgrid systems combine on-site or behind-the-meter generation, energy storage and electrical load, and can operate either connected to or independent from the main grid. U.S. microgrid capacity could hit 10 GW by the end of 2025, according to the Department of Energy (DOE).
As energy infrastructure advances, microgrids—especially those powered by solar energy—are poised to play a vital role. These systems provide a decentralized approach to addressing the rising need for sustainable, dependable and affordable energy, particularly in remote and underprivileged regions.
When transmitting energy over long distances, we can lose up to 30% of it. Therefore, local generation through microgrids can remove the need for transmission, avoiding large losses that greatly impact the system's stability and the cost of electricity.
These systems empower local communities by providing reliable electricity for homes, schools, hospitals and businesses. In regions where extending traditional power lines is costly or impractical, solar microgrids offer a viable, scalable alternative. One of the most critical components of a solar microgrid is its energy storage system.
