MODULAR MICROGRIDS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Modular Microgrids Market was valued is expected to rise to USD 2.65 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 8.13 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 15.02% from 2025 to 2034. 

The United States Modular Microgrids market is estimated to reach USD 0.917 billion in 2025, whereas Europe is projected at USD 0.652 billion, and China at USD 0.710 billion.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy Microgrid Exchange Group, a microgrid is a collection of interlinked loads and distributed energy resources that operates as a single, controllable entity with respect to the grid and is contained within well-defined electrical borders. In required to function in both grid-connected and island mode, a microgrid can interconnect to and disengage from the grid.

Key Findings 

COVID-19 Impact:

Economic Uncertainty and Poor Consumer Confidence Resulted in the Negative Impact on the Microgrids Sector

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the modular microgrids market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Due to the tight lockdowns and social segregation used to stop the COVID-19 breakout, the modular microgrids market suffered. The market for modular microgrids was influenced by economic uncertainty, a partial corporate shutdown, and poor consumer confidence. The epidemic caused delays in logistical operations, which in turn affected the supply chain. However, due to the relaxation of the constraints, the microgrids industry is anticipated to pick up steam in the post-pandemic environment.

LATEST TRENDS

Collaboration by Power Management Company to Utilize Renewable Sources of Electricity to Power Production

Plans for a second collaborative microgrid project in Puerto Rico were announced by power management company Eaton and Enel X, the Enel Group's innovative energy services business division, in October 2021. By taking these actions, Eaton will be able to utilize additional renewable sources of electricity to power its production and improve the energy resilience of its operations while also reducing the burden on the regional energy infrastructure.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Microgrid Exchange Group, more than 500 microgrid projects were operational across the U.S. as of 2023, with modular configurations representing over 43% due to scalability and fast deployment.

• As per the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the share of modular, renewable-based microgrids grew by 22% globally between 2020 and 2023, driven by solar-plus-storage integration and government-backed clean energy transitions.

DRIVING FACTORS

Instant Benefits Offered by the Microgrids Makes the Initial Setup Easy and Future Growth Less Difficult and Expensive

A group of dispersed technologies known as a modular microgrid can produce and distribute electrical load either simultaneously or independently from a centralized grid. Microgrids, which frequently run on solar energy, are becoming more and more plug-and-play. This means that if a component stops working, it can be changed separately from the system, saving money on maintenance. Additionally, this makes initial setup and future growth less difficult and expensive. A modular microgrid can therefore offer instant benefits.

Helps in Saving a Lifetime of Work and Maintains Crucial Facility Operations Therefore these Microgrids are Frequently Built by Universities and Institutions

In the United States, schools and institutions were early users of modular microgrid technology. That's because microgrids offer a campus consistent, reasonably priced power around-the-clock. By serving as a shelter in the event of a power outage, this maintains crucial facilities operational to serve the campus and larger community. Because university research labs frequently use temperature-sensitive specimens, modular microgrids are especially crucial to these facilities. Power interruptions may cost them a lifetime of work and millions of dollars. To assist in achieving their climate change objectives, these organizations frequently build microgrids. The modular microgrids can also be applied in training courses for students interested in careers in the energy sector.

• According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), modular microgrids can reduce downtime by up to 90% in disaster-prone zones compared to traditional grid networks, improving community resilience and grid independence.

• As per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 42% of U.S. academic institutions are investing in modular microgrids to ensure uninterrupted power supply and lower carbon footprints from fossil-based energy systems.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Operation Related Issues and Uncertain State Rules Act as Barriers in the Development of Microgrids

The modular microgrids' ability to operate in an isolated mode presents one of the biggest operational challenges they confront. Microgrids must maintain stability while operating with the assistance of dispersed energy supplies. When there is an excess or a shortage of electricity, microgrids typically experience instability. A generator could trip off due to an excess of electricity, cutting off the microgrid's power source. On the contrary hand, a lack of electricity might cause equipment to malfunction. Another barrier to the microgrid industry is the absence of a clear regulatory policy framework. Uncertain state rules are a significant barrier to the development of  the modular microgrids market growth.

• According to the California Energy Commission (CEC), microgrids face operational instability, with 26% of tested modular systems encountering power balancing failures during islanded operation under low-load conditions.

• As stated by the International Energy Agency (IEA), absence of clear regulatory frameworks in more than 70 developing nations slowed deployment of modular microgrids by 18.5% in 2023 compared to grid-based projects.
