The rising energy cost, with an average of around USD0.50 per kWh in 2025 in the US, is projected to rise further in the forthcoming years due to the growing depletion rate of fossil fuels and stringent regulations. This rising cost and the growing carbon emission have encouraged the government and citizens to shift towards renewable energy sources, while doing so, the microgrids are promoted because of their compatibility and easier integration of renewable energy sources into their services, increasing the utility of microgrids.

Moreover, the electrification of several industries, primarily automotive, and the hybridization of energy have led to the innovation of the hybrid microgrids. The hybrid microgrids easily integrate multiple energy solutions like solar PV, diesel/natural gas generators, batteries, EV charging, and others into a single energy-reliant system, ensuring the smooth and continuous supply of energy. Thus, the growing advances like hybrid microgrids, IoT devices, AI-powered platforms, and others, with the rise in the need for reliable power system in healthcare, defense, education, etc., with the government support, and the increasing investments in the market, boost the microgrid as a service industry in the United States.

U.S. Microgrid-as-a-Service Market Driver:

Growing Demand and Investments for Resilient Energy Solutions – The demand for energy has surged lately in the US due to the digitalization of multiple sectors, aging infrastructure, adoption of renewable energy resources, climatic changes, and electrification of numerous sectors, like automotive etc. Due to the sudden changes in the weather conditions, like hurricanes, wildfires, storms, and other various events, along with the aged infrastructure, have generated a need for the upgradation and establishment of new and resilient energy solutions in the United States, primarily in the sectors like hospitals, military bases, data centers, etc., which require a continuous supply of energy for functionality.

To meet this growing demand for energy solutions, various investments and projects are underway. For instance, the Community Microgrid Assistance Partnership (C-MAP) program of the US Department of Energy (DOE) partnered with 20 others to integrate the microgrid in 35 villages and townships in Alaska, with the funding of around USD8 million. The establishment of the microgrid and its services offers a reliable power supply during sudden energy outages and grid failures, thus increasing its demand across multiple sectors of the country.

U.S. Microgrid-as-a-Service Market Opportunity:

Increasing Government Support to Offer Lucrative Growth Opportunities – The government of the US is supporting the microgrid as a service market across the country to boost economic growth and achieve carbon neutrality, through schemes, subsidies, lowering taxation, programs, etc.

The government authorities of the US launched initiatives like DOE’s Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP), initiated in 2022 under IIJA, the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) of California, and others. Under which the government is offering financial aid for the development and strengthening of the microgrid infrastructure. Similarly, the government introduced the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021, and with an investment of around USD65 million from 2022 to 2026 for the development of the microgrid connectivity across the nation.

Additionally, the reduced taxation and increased Investment Tax Credit (ITC) under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were initiated in 2022 and extended till 2032. Under this act, the government offers a reduction in the cost of installation of solar energy systems and microgrids to businesses and US citizens, thus encouraging the adoption of renewable energy and positively impacting the growth of the market in the nation.

U.S. Microgrid-as-a-Service Market Challenge:

Integration & Regularity Complexities to Hinder Market Growth – The integration of the microgrid is complex due to the old IT infrastructure & grid connection, stringent regulations, unskilled workforce, etc. The integration of a microgrid in the existing grid connection is a complex process, with the utility, regulatory framework, and others acting as a hindrance in the installation procedure of the microgrids. Each state in the US has a different regulatory framework designed for a traditional, centralized power system, and compliance with the standards of each state is difficult to attain.

Further, the energy utility suppliers view microgrids as a challenge because of the inclining shift in consumers' towards the adoption of microgrids as they are cost-effective and more convenient to use than the traditional. For instance, in California, the utility providers are opposing their integration into the residential sector. Thus, the growing & spreading shift in consumers' attitudes towards the integration of microgrids, with the ongoing opposition and the absence of global standards, hinders the market growth in the US.

U.S. Microgrid-as-a-Service Market Trend:

Adoption of AI, IoTs in Microgrid Services – The growing advancements have increased in the microgrid services due to the smart energy management system, pattern identification & analysis of threats, user patterns, etc. The integration of AI and ML into the microgrid is evolving the Microgrid as a Service Industry, due to the automated identification and rerouting of the energy between grid-connected & island modes, offering efficient connectivity and power supply. The AI and ML-driven microgrids identify and optimize the energy generation, storage & balancing of load, thus offering the power to the end-users, without any complexity.  Similarly, it detects the user's energy consumption pattern and automates energy during excessive usage, thus offering improved grid services.

Further, the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors in the microgrids predict the maintenance and closely monitor the crucial components, such as batteries, inverters, switchgears, for temperature maintenance, vibration, and identify anomalies during the performance and alert the service providers about the potential threats and weaknesses in the services. Thus, the reduced load on the grid and automated shift in the connectivity to the main grid have led to an increase in the acceptance of the AI, ML, and IoT integrated Microgrid as a Service in the US, hence fueling the market growth.
