Meeting the growing demand for power and resiliency in remote, off-grid, and grid-connected scenarios
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
Off-grid, remote, and rural use cases and deployments
System feasibility, design, and implementation
Ownership models and benefits for multiple stakeholders
The state of enabling technologies
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 renewable energy systems
Advanced battery, fuel cell, LNG and flow battery technologies
Microgrid power control and performance management
Regulatory and public policy developments impacting microgrids
Standards and interoperability issues
Market drivers and opportunities worldwide
Who Should Attend?

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.
