The demand for microgrids as a strategy for ensuring grid reliability and energy
independence is growing -- not only for military applications, but also for campus
environments in the commercial, government, health care, education, industrial, and remote sectors.
North America is strongest in planned capacity growth through 2017, while APAC and
the developing world -- particularly remote applications -- is seen as the strongest long-term market.
|
Exponential growth is projected for this sector worldwide:*
- From 1,400 MW in 2011 to 4.7 GW by 2017 -- 330% capacity expansion
- Revenue growth of 467% -- from $3 billion to $17 billion -- during the same period

The penetration of distributed energy resources -- and the desire for greater energy reliabilty,
independence, quality, and security -- is driving the global interest in microgrid
deployment. Coupled with the pressing need to electrify the developing world, the Internet's
unstoppable disintermediation, and the penetration of distributed communications systems means that the
energy world of tomorrow will be quite different than the traditional, one-way flow of power from generation to
consumption.
