Microgrid Market Needs to Grow

Along with the alternative energy needs, which integrate into microgrid setups, that had started in the U.S. some forty years back only to be blocked, whole industries, by the special interests then and continuing into today!

Microgrid Market to Reach $14.92 Billion by 2020: SBI Bulletin

Jun 29, 2012 - Industrial and energy market research publisher SBI has released a research study on microgrids, projecting the market will reach $14.92 billion by 2020. The study, SBI Bulletin: Microgrids 2006-2020, also projects the market value will experience a hefty 102.4% increase from 2010 to 2015, and from 2015 to 2020, another 78% increase in its market value. This reflects a hike in microgrid electrical output from 1.57 GW in 2010 to 3.2 GW in 2015 and 5.67 GW in 2020.

Microgrids, also referred to as minigrids, off-grids and remote electrification grids are a smaller version of the traditional electrical grid or the newer digitized smart grid. A large variety of microgrid types exist: smart microgrids, islanded or decentralized microgrids, hybrid microgrids and rudimentary microgrids, to name a few.

"Microgrid installations around the world include everything from diesel generator-based rural electrification projects supplying electricity to small remote villages to large, futuristic cities and theme parks powered by multiple forms of renewable energy and using the newest microgrid technologies," explains Nana Lapham, SBI analyst and author of the study. read more>>>
