Local electricity generation to help feed world’s power needs
Thursday 10 Aug 2017 Author: Steven Frazer

Global micro smart grid electricity generation capacity is expected to jump six-fold by 2021, according to research by investment bank Berenberg.

Micro smart grids are small networks of electricity generation and battery storage run separately from a nation’s main power grid.

They are particularly useful in places where there is little centralised network infrastructure such as India and parts of Africa; or where nature shocks regularly happen, such as hurricanes or earthquakes.

Berenberg’s study suggests 265 smart micro grid projects are either operational or in development globally currently.
