Microgrid & Off-Grid Innovation Forum 2025

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.

The 20th edition of the Microgrid & Off-Grid Innovation Forum, September 30 - October 1, 2025 in Austin, TX brings together technology innovators, project developers, utilities, energy providers and policy makers for focused networking and in-depth information sharing at the cutting edge of microgrids in North America. If your organization is facing challenges posed by energy availability and reliability, grid resiliency and rising costs, this is a must-attend event.

Topics to be covered include:

• Microgrids for servicing fast-growing data center, building electrification and EV charging loads

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
