How Microgrids Make Money: A Tutorial on Ways Microgrids Earn Their Keep
This presentation provides a tutorial on ancillary services, demand response, transactive energy and other ways microgrids earn their keep.
The Financial Decision-Makers Guide to Energy-as-a-Service Microgrids
A new energy-as-a-service (EaaS) model has emerged that simplifies microgrid development and ownership for organizations. EaaS relieves the microgrid host from operational and financial risk—but guarantees them the benefits. A new special report from Microgrid Knowledge and Schneider Electric explores in detail the new model for energy-as-a-service microgrids.
California’s Critical Facility Challenge: The Case for Energy-as-a-Service Municipal Microgrids
If California does not modernize its grid and power delivery infrastructure via sustainable premium power provided by microgrids, the state will be thwarted in its efforts to meet not only its economic and public safety needs, but aggressive carbon reduction and renewable energy goals. Download the new white paper commissioned by Schneider Electric that answers one of the most commonly asked questions: How can today’s governments pay for the vital energy infrastructure upgrades they need? Enter Energy-as-a-Service municipal microgrids.

The Value of Energy Tax Incentives for Different Types of Energy Resources
The U.S. tax code supports the energy sector by providing a number of targeted energy tax incentives, or energy tax incentives available only for the energy industry. Some policymakers have expressed interest in understanding how energy tax benefits are distributed across different domestic energy resources. For example, what percentage of energy-related tax benefits support fossil fuels (or support renewables)? How much domestic energy is produced using fossil fuels (or produced using renewables)? And how do these figures compare? Download this report to find out more.
