In this session, we will discuss the latest DER trends fueling microgrid growth, review regional market dynamics and offer his insights on why some microgrid market segments (and DER assets) will benefit from COVID-19 - and others may suffer. Learn about near- and long-term opportunities across the globe, with a focus on the following:
  • Which two DER options lead microgrid capacity today - and into the future?
  • Which microgrid segments seem to be gaining market traction due to COVID-19?
  • What regional trends in microgrid deployments reveal about our energy future?
  • What about electric utilities: are they leaders or laggards?
