A microgrid is an electrical grid that can isolate a group of buildings or energy consuming assets and self-power with local generation. Microgrids offer a promising opportunity to reduce energy costs, limit greenhouse gas emissions and increase resiliency.
Successful microgrid development requires integrated expertise in energy systems analysis, utility rate modeling, engineering, and operations. These areas represent core organizational competencies and allow us to support clients through all phases of the project lifecycle. SourceOne has successfully developed microgrid projects featuring a range of technologies including combined heat & power (CHP), storage and renewables; helping clients meet their financial, resiliency, and sustainability goals.
Our team has been involved in several of the most commonly referenced examples of successful microgrids in North America. By engaging SourceOne to act as their Owner’s Representative, our clients are able to draw on our proven track record and expertise leading microgrid projects from business concept all the way through design, construction, commissioning and startup.
