The global microgrid market size was estimated at $76.88 billion in 2023, and the market in North America is forcast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2024 to 2030.* Microgrids as a means of achieving self-sufficiency in times of crisis or grid disconnection is a key driver, as is the desire to accommodate the ever-rising penetration of renewables on the network. Going forward, microgrids will be an increasingly important tool for realizing the decentralization and decarbonization of the energy grid in the U.S. Now is the time to position your organization for success in this growing market.
The 19th editon of the Microgrid Global Innovation Forum, September 24-25 in San Francisco brings together technology innovators, utilities, energy providers, developers and policy makers for focused networking and in-depth networking and information sharing on the cutting edge of microgrids in North America and globally. The emphasis is on optimizing the business case for utilities and large C&I customers, interconnection and interoperability with the larger grid, and sharing lessons learned to date from recent case studies of both grid-tied and off-grid/remote deployments.
Topics to be covered include:
Microgrid feasibility, design, and implementation
Ownership models and benefits for multiple stakeholders
Microgrids for EV charging infrastructure
Leveraging microgrids to maximize the penetration of renewables
Off-grid, remote, and rural use cases and advances
Utilizing microgrids to cope with grid outages and crisis situations
Utility-driven microgrids and deployment partnerships
Public-purpose, city-community, and commercial microgrid deployments
Integration of microgrids into the larger grid
Determining the correct technology mix for hybrid energy systems
Advanced battery, fuel cell, and flow battery technologies
Microgrid power control and performance management
Virtual power plants vs. microgrids
Regulatory and public policy developments impacting microgrids
Standards and interoperability issues
Market drivers and opportunities worldwide
Who Should Attend?

Energy managers at municipal and C&I end user organizations
Power control system and software vendors
Battery suppliers and energy storage companies
Regulatory and policy development professionals
Researchers, analysts and academic professionals focused on sustainable energy
Financial and VC professionals

I enjoy this conference for its deeper discussions on grid and microgrid issues, new challenges, new opportunities, and changes in business models. This is not Microgrid 101. This is "graduate-level" microgrid discussions. Wonderful
Excellent conference. Nice balance of participants from utilities to vendors to consultants. Great cross-section of participants.
Very useful presentations - good conference and well run. Very much appreciate the focus on solutions and applications, vs. products
One of the best, with highest quality presenters on timely topics.
