Microgrids

Make local, sustainable and shared energy projects a reality

The global shift toward renewable energy production, combined with the development of storage solutions and smart grid technologies, is accelerating the transition to decentralized energy systems built around the local energy grid. As a result, the local energy grid is becoming a cornerstone of a circular, renewable energy‑based economy.

A local energy grid brings power generation close to where energy is consumed, from a single building to remote communities or entire urban districts. This proximity enables a wide range of benefits, including off‑grid energy access, enhanced security of energy supply, and the decarbonization of local energy consumption through renewable, locally produced energy within the local energy grid.
