Microgrids are self-sufficient, localized energy systems that deliver power to specific sites such as hospitals, university campuses, commercial complexes, or military bases. Designed to function independently from the main grid, microgrids enhance energy resilience by operating autonomously or in conjunction with the central grid. When necessary, they can isolate themselves—forming an “energy island”—to ensure uninterrupted power during outages or grid failures.
The global microgrid market was valued at USD 38.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 136.86 billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period (2025–2032).
