Grid Deployment Office U.S. Department of Energy

Microgrids that incorporate renewable energy resources can have environmental benefits in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. • In some cases, microgrids can sell power back to the grid during normal operations. However, microgrids are just one way to improve the energy resilience of an electric grid

Success Story—Using Renewable Microgrids to Keep the Lights On

Microgrids are localized electric grids that can disconnect from the main grid to operate autonomously, even with the larger grid is down. While microgrids are still rare—as of 2022, about 10 gigawatts of microgrid capacity was installed in the U.S.—interest in renewable energy microgrids is growing rapidly. Now, thanks to a research project with Siemens
