Summary
New-found freedom: more and more businesses are recognising the benefits of the on-site microgrids.
For more and more businesses, taking responsibility for their own energy supply with a view to increasing its regenerativeness, reliability and where possible, cost-effectiveness, has become a desirable option.
In Germany as elsewhere, energy shortages have put the issue of energy flexibility at the top of the agenda. But what potential do microgrids really have to lower costs, secure supply reliability and decrease CO2 emissions? Can requirements really be covered by almost 100% renewables, and if so, at what price?
The outcome all depends on the energy mix used, which is itself determined by the type of application.
Using a microgrid for their own energy supply promises numerous advantages to industrial and business customers – they not only gain a reliable source of power that provides them with capacity on top of the public grid and renders them independent of it in uncertain times, they also have the option of reducing CO2 emissions by adjusting the level of renewables in the part of the energy mix under their control.
The potential each user has at his disposal to make a saving depends on the type.
