Schneider Electric Leads the Charge on the Democratization of Energy
This report from Verdantix provides insights around the increasing grid interactivity of facilities as a key enabler for decarbonization as more renewables are onboarded, and electric vehicles (EVs) becomes more widespread. Microgrids form a vital part of the grid-interactive ecosystem, enabling the site-level management of distributed energy resources (DERs) and communication with the grid to optimize energy flows for cost-cutting, decarbonization and energy resiliency.

Microgrids Link Clean Energy and Mobility
If global electric vehicle (EV) adoption rates grow as projected, this represents a major step in reducing emissions that contribute to global climate change and local air pollution concerns. The shift to cleaner mobility does not occur in a vacuum; it has broad implications for vehicles and power infrastructure, prompting demand for all-inclusive rather than siloed solutions. Read More
Energy as a Service eGuide
Grid outages. Hurricanes, wildfires, flooding, and other severe weather. Ever-fluctuating energy prices. Growing demand for fewer emissions and “greener” practices. Organizations of all sizes and industries are facing new energy challenges. But now, there’s a solution to help you overcome these challenges, so you can operate with greater energy efficiency, sustainability, and cost control. It’s called Energy as a Service, and it’s revolutionizing the way organizations create and consume energy. Read More
An Innovative Approach to Resilience in Public Facilities
Severe storms — and extended power outages — can happen anywhere. But instead of waiting for another disaster and grid failure, one community took action. After experiencing a devastating outage, government officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, decided to invest in energy infrastructure that would remain on, even when the grid went down. Read More
Microgrids and the Energy Transition
Centralized electricity production spurred huge progress in the early 20th century — enabling significant economies of scale and improved power plant efficiency. But times are changing. Today, we are facing new energy challenges, including an aging electrical grid, an increase in severe weather, and rising energy costs. Power decentralization may help us tackle these 21st-century energy hurdles by creating accessible, reliable, green, and resilient energy. Read More
2020 Corporate Energy and Sustainability Progress Report
For anyone involved in the energy and sustainability industry back in 2010, 2020 is hardly recognizable. Changes over the past decade were seismic and the new decade—starting with the global response to the current pandemic—holds even more in store. Disruption is expanding the role of energy managers, digital innovations are transforming programs, and bold commitments are preparing organizations for an uncertain future. Read More
