Utility outages are growing more prolonged and frequent in many areas, often caused by weather-related disasters and aging infrastructure. A microgrid enables your organization to remain powered by seamlessly switching to on-site generation or storage. If the grid fails, a microgrid controller can sense the disruption, disconnects from the utility, activates “island mode,” and reconnects when the utility service is restored..

An intelligent microgrid controller determines the optimal times to consume, produce, store, or sell energy based on weather, predicted utility rates, and other factors. It allows you to use your own loads without paying peak rates from the utility and the option to sell excess power when available. A microgrid can be a long-term hedge against inflation as the cost of fossil-fuel utility plants increases relative to renewable sources.

EaaS is a business model that lets your organization reap the benefits of microgrid ownership without the cost and risk of capital investment. With EaaS, partners like Schneider Electric, through their Joint Ventures with AlphaStruxure, GreenStruxure, and GreenNext, build, own, and operate a microgrid at your site for a long-term price per kWh. This gets the microgrid up and running faster and protects you from utility rate hikes. Schneider Electric can even transfer the asset to a partner when necessary, reducing your financial risk.
