Chick-fil-A cuts costs, boosts grid reliability with solar-powered microgrid
The project completes the trio of Chick-fil-As piloting the solar-powered microgrids.
ElectricFish ultra-fast EV charging solution
The 350Squared plug-and-play power bank requires no trenching and includes AI-powered forecasting with a bi-directional electricity meter, and two ultra-fast charging ports.
Despite innovative action in microgrid policies, states have a long way to go
A new report by Think Microgrid says most states are doing an insufficient job at deploying microgrids despite developing microgrid roadmaps.
Off-grid solar-plus-storage could power data centers used for training AI models
Firms building datacenters to train artificial intelligence models could power the centers with high-solar microgrids in the southwest U.S., researchers found. The power demand for such datacenters is estimated at 15 GW to 150 GW by 2030.

Also on the rise: Fully electric, net-zero Wisconsin school powered by a microgrid. Largest solar and energy storage project in U.S. achieves regulatory approval. And more.
Fully electric, net-zero Wisconsin school powered by a microgrid
A microgrid installed at the Maplewood Intermediate/Middle School is said to be the largest in the state and will save the school district an estimated $190,000 in annual energy costs.
The great grid transition in the age of data centers and EVs
Rapidly increasing energy consumption due to data centers, EVs and AI, requires adopting innovative energy strategies like distributed energy resources and microgrids that offer viable solutions for a more resilient, responsive energy infrastructure.
Sunnova to construct solar and storage microgrid for Penobscot Nation
Sunnova will deploy a grid independent solar and storage project for a tribe located in Maine and Quebec.
Renewable microgrid projects in remote and tribal communities to receive federal support
A federal partnership program will offer financial and technical assistance to remote and tribal communities that are at any stage of microgrid planning or development.
Striking a balance: Growth, energy and decarbonization
By prioritizing the combination of electrification and digitization, what Schneider Electric calls Electricity 4.0, we can ensure that technology and other critical sectors like buildings, industry, and transportation run efficiently and are powered with the cleanest possible energy mix.
