The combination of new technologies and new methods of financing has set the stage for microgrids to play a major role in decarbonization. The method of providing energy as a service, and therefore moving the upfront cost away from consumers, has shown significant popularity. The falling costs of both battery storage and solar technology have made microgrids a more attractive option, while reports from the DoE emphasize the role they can play in grid stability and resiliency.

By adopting new technologies now, utilities can build a transmission grid well-positioned for an efficient and resilient renewable-based economy.
