“If you want the best steak you go to a steakhouse, not just any old restaurant. If you’re interested in microgrids, you go to the Microgrid Knowledge conference, not some big energy event where microgrids get lost in the noise.”
Tim McDuffie, senior business development engineer at Smarter Grid Solutions, offers guidance for Native American communities that are developing tribal microgrids.
Concern about electric reliability has heightened for utilities and their business customers as wildfires escalate in California and public safety power shutoffs become the norm.

Learn 5 ways that microgrid developers can successfully navigate changing customer needs, handle vendor and procurement management, and avoid scope gaps in this webinar from Microgrid Knowledge and Siemens.
California’s higher education institutions are leaders in microgrids. In this panel discussion from Microgrid California, hear from schools that operate campus microgrids and those that are soon to join them.
In this virtual microgrid tour, we’ll learn how Joint Base San Antonio leveraged energy efficiency and reliability upgrades to build an innovative microgrid and distributed generation architecture that provides energy assurance in support of mission critical operations.
Hear from executive director Cameron Brooks as he lays out Think Microgrid’s mission, a new microgrid collaborative advocacy and regulatory coalition announced during Microgrid 2021.
Here you’ll find microgrid 101 information. We define terms and explain concepts to help readers understand the growing usefulness and popularity of this form of distributed energy. We welcome you to send these article links to others who may want to learn more about microgrids.
You may be enthusiastic about pursuing a microgrid, but are you aware of the issues that could bog down your project? We've prepared a list of key questions about microgrids to consider before getting started.
Microgrids serve industries, institutions, communities and other customers in a range of ways. Here we look at eight main microgrid benefits – from keeping the lights in a storm to lowering energy costs to improving community well-being.
How is a microgrid defined? A few different definitions exist. Here we set out to explain what we mean by 'microgrid' at Microgrid Knowledge.
Advanced microgrid controls can empower modern microgrids to do far more than simply provide reliable backup power. John Stark, marcom and product manager at Russelectric, discusses how advanced microgrid controls guide a symphony of advanced microgrids, just like a conductor guides an orchestra
Montgomery County is a sizeable government that found itself with an equally sizeable problem. With 9,000 employees and 400 buildings totaling 9 million square feet, the Maryland county has a budget as large or bigger than many states. Bordering Washington, D.C., with over 1 million people, the county represents 16% of the state’s economy. Download the full report to explore how Montgomery County increased resilience, upgraded electrical infrastructure and enhance sustainability by installing microgrids at two of its critical county facilities.
