What is a microgrid?

A microgrid is a layer of integrated on-site electricity infrastructure that works in tandem with existing utility service to deliver enhanced performance. By using advanced microgrid controls to optimize operations, microgrids provide everyday cost savings and emissions benefits as well as resilience during grid outages.

How it works

During everyday operations, the microgrid operates alongside the utility grid, with advanced controls optimizing the use of energy from each resource to minimize energy costs. In the event of a grid outage, these controls enable facilities to automatically isolate (or “island”) from the grid and rely on the microgrid to keep critical operations running.

Stronger than the sum of its parts.

Solar PV

Hedge against rising utility costs and accelerate toward emissions reduction goals by generating clean, renewable energy on site.

Battery Storage

Dynamically store and dispatch energy to save on everyday electricity costs and provide hours of backup power.

Dispatchable Generation

Ensure your facility stays powered through extended outages with backup generation.

Electric Vehicle Charging

Set your fleet up for success by creating more certainty, simplicity, and cost savings in the electrification process.

Advanced Controls

Optimize resource dispatch and ensure resilience with controls that automatically island from the grid during outages.

System Monitoring

Remote monitoring allows our team to easily detect and diagnose issues from a single user-friendly interface.

Financing Turns a Capital Expense into Operational Savings.

Scale finances projects via Microgrid Service Agreements (MSAs), eliminating upfront costs and providing immediate savings. Similar to Energy Service Agreements (ESAs) and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), we charge a flat fee for energy services and system maintenance. Our microgrids offer broader benefits than standard solar or energy efficiency projects due to integrated DERs, advanced controls, and expert optimization.

Bring Your Own Power

Scale’s "Bring Your Own Power" (BYOP) offerings provide a solution to multi-year utility capacity delays, with microgrids that provide ultra-reliable power for sites that currently lack a grid connection or need more power at their existing grid-tied facility. As detailed in this white paper, we have a proven track record of delivering generator-based prime power solutions as well as advanced, multi-resource microgrids that also incorporate solar and storage.

No matter your industry, you depend on reliable, affordable power.
