The evidence of real growth in microgrid deployments is becoming increasingly apparent.
Since the beginning of the year, 13 newly commissioned U.S. microgrid projects have been deployed. A new forecast from GTM research anticipates a 30 percent increase in 2020 cumulative operational capacity — now exceeding 3.7 gigawatts.
The underlying generation mix is also evolving. Granted, the vast majority of the market continues to depend on fossil-fuel-driven generators, but the share of renewables has approximately doubled since June 2015.
