Why We Were First: Views on Microgrids Today from the Industry’s Early Leaders
Microgrids have been around for a hundred years or more, but it’s really been just in the past five or six years, since Superstorm Sandy, that we’ve seen the industry really take off and advanced microgrids come into play. Many players, big and small, have entered the booming microgrid market in recent years. In this video, early microgrid leaders from Schneider Electric, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, and S&C Electric explain what they saw before others, the technology’s value today, and what’s ahead for microgrids.

Held in November of 2020, the editors at Microgrid Knowledge gathered the industry at a pivotal event designed to set a goal for microgrid growth over the next decade. Although this was previously recorded, you’ll find many of the examples and insights are timeless in their strategic value.
The three-day event featured over 90 speakers and 27 educational sessions. Designed by the editors of Microgrid Knowledge, the one-of-a-kind event covered news and trends in microgrid market development, technology, business models, financing and policy. Topics covered during the event include how microgrids can make or save you money, residential microgrids, and solutions to microgrid engineering and technical challenges.
