Optimizing Microgrids in Off-Grid, Remote and Rural Environments 

The 15th Microgrid Global Innovation Forum - EMEA | APAC | LATAM,

11-13 September in London, focuses on the latest technology advances and business models for the deployment of hybrid renewable energy microgrids in grid-connected and off-grid environments.  Organized by the Smart Grid Observer, this in-person event brings together top microgrid professionals for in-depth discussion of technology innovations, case studies, and lessons learned to date in optimizing microgrids for a range of deployments. 

 

A key focus is bringing clean, sustainable and affordable energy to the more than 900 million people in the world who currently have no access to electricity. Renewable energy microgrids will play a key role in meeting this need and in furthering the fight against climate change.  Join as we examine key case studies and enabling technology developments to date.
