Meeting the growing demand for power and resiliency in remote, off-grid, and grid-connected scenarios
As AI data centers, electrification of industrial processes and transportation, and other factors drive a surge in demand for electricity in North America, microgrids and off-grid energy systems are seen as a key solution. Indeed, the global microgrid market size was estimated at $76.88 billion in 2023, and the market in North America is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2024 to 2030.*
