The microgrid opportunity around the world continues to grow significantly. One recent report forecasts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% between 2016-2022, reaching $35 billion by 2022.* The reasons for this expected positive development include the falling cost of solar energy, advances in energy storage, the drive to mitigate climate change, and the cost savings associated with minimizing fossil fuels in remote generation systems. In addition, microgrids will play a central role in bringing electrification to rural and developing regions in which access to reliable, clean and affordable energy is a high priority.

The 7th edition of the Microgrid Global Innovation Forum, September 11-13, 2018 in London, focuses on microgrid advances, case studies and applications in EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. The emphasis is on maximizing the effective use of renewable and distributed energy resources, refining the positive business model for a range of microgrid deployments, and sharing real-world case studies in both grid-tied and off-grid/remote environments. The event will focus on:

• Microgrid feasibility, design, and implementation
• Refining the business case for off-grid, remote, and island microgrids
• Solar + storage advances
• Project financing and investor perspectives
• Determining the correct technology mix for hybrid energy systems
• Advanced battery, fuel cell, and flow battery technologies
• Microgrid power control, management, and integration
• Integrating distributed renewable energy resources into the grid
• Effective project evaluation, implementation, and management
• Regulatory and public policy advances
• Standards and interoperability issues
• Market drivers and opportunities worldwide

ENERGY AT THE CROSSROADS OF NEW CHALLENGES

CHARGE Energy Branding – A global event in Reykjavik, Iceland. September 24-25 2018. Consumer-centric energy markets. It‘s more important than ever for the energy sector to become more agile, proactive and customer-centric than ever before. Market liberalisation has created opportunities for new entrants, innovation, new energy sources and increased stakeholder interest in energy have radically changed the energy space for good. This has meant radical changes for the business environment of energy companies. The importance of branding energy is more now than ever. Marketing energy has become an important factor for other industries as well as consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the energy used to produce everyday consumer goods. Branding is the strategic philosophy that defines an enterprise and how it engages with stakeholders at any touchpoint. Meet people and learn from peers who are engaged in connecting utilities to the minds and hearts of the consumers.
Join us at a unique energy conference in Iceland, September 24-25 2018.

Building a Resilient, Efficient and Sustainable Energy Future
Roosevelt Strategic Council's 2018 Summit is a senior level educational forum. It will focus on the technical capabilities and innovations that are increasingly allowing for microgrids to serve as an effective conduit for increased penetration of renewables and DERS into the grid.
Equally, the Summit will also develop the strategic business models and use cases while discussing the current regulatory landscape. Click here to lean more.

The Homer Energy conference is a forum for industry leaders and policymakers in this emerging market to come together and share successes, technologies, financial models, and develop goals and policy objectives to drive the industry forward.

There are two days of conference activities with a focus on solving practical challenges through real-world examples. There is also an optional third day of hands-on training with the HOMER Grid and HOMER Pro software platforms for those looking to model microgrid projects, develop demand management strategies, and get training on Homer Energy's software.  Click here to learn more.

Microgrid 2.0: Advancing Industry Growth explores emerging technologies and innovative policies. The conference creates opportunities to connect with microgrid industry leaders advancing a new path forward for microgrids.
