Microgrid Program Strategy | Department of Energy
By 2035, microgrids are envisioned to be essential building blocks of the future electricity delivery system to support resilience, decarbonization, and affordability. The Strategy development
Minigrids & Microgrids
Traditionally, centralized power generation plants produce electricity which is then transported by a transmission and distribution network to the end-user. This is a one-way delivery system from generation to usage.This model is increasingly

6 FAQs about [New national standard for microgrids]
What are advanced microgrids?
Advanced microgrids enable local power generation assets—including traditional generators, renewables, and storage—to keep the local grid running even when the larger grid experiences interruptions or, for remote areas, where there is no connection to the larger grid.
What is a microgrid standard?
It defines voltage and power quality metrics for power supplied to loads attached to such a microgrid. This standard focuses on the power distribution portion of a microgrid and addresses sources only in the way that they are attached to the grid. It does not impose either minimum or maximum current limits.
What is a microgrid strategy?
The Strategy development process began with microgrid experts deliberating on areas the Strategy should focus on for impactful results in key metrics, such as reliability, resilience, decarbonization, and affordability, in the next five to ten years.
What is a renewable microgrid?
Just supply fuel and start it up—so easy, anyone could do it. Renewable microgrids, on the other hand, are not so simple, with their suite of controls, software, and asset coordination. But the beauty of renewables is that fuel is free and already available on-site, even in remote disaster areas.
What policies have been implemented to promote the development and adoption of microgrids?
Several countries have implemented policies to promote the development and adoption of microgrids. In the United States, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has implemented Order-2222 , establishing rules enabling microgrids to participate in wholesale energy markets.
Are microgrids sustainable?
The sustainability of microgrids has been shown through case studies despite the challenges. For instance, a case study in Haiti found that microgrids can provide reliable and affordable electricity to remote communities not connected to the national grid .
