Plexar Energy will drive the professionalisation and commercialisation of microgrid solutions powered by renewable energy. It will deliver a standardised end-to-end, on-site, solution that integrates with the local power grid, ensuring a robust and grid-friendly energy system.

Microgrids powered by locally produced renewable power will provide businesses with increased energy independence, manage energy price costs and volatility, and unlock additional power capacity to accelerate electrification efforts. This can be achieved while having a positive effect on overall grid stability and alleviating congestion.

As the electrification agenda continues to accelerate with a range of new or increased use cases, the implementation of microgrids is growing across sectors and industries. Plexar Energy will develop and operate microgrid-projects and will target industries that require cost effective, robust and clean electrical solutions that can help them maintain competitiveness whilst achieving better overall energy efficiency.

This includes port operations, where microgrids can assist with establishing shore power allowing docking vessels to reduce fuel consumption and warehouses where microgrids can establish capacity for charging electrical vehicles. Further, Plexar is expected to target industries such as heavy transport, datacentres, district heating, mining and oil and gas operations.

“Electrification has become a path to improved competitiveness for many businesses and microgrids provide quick and cost-effective access to advanced technology such as power AI and electrical engineering” said partner at CIP and CEO of Plexar Energy, Karsten Plauborg. “Plexar Energy will tap into the large commercial opportunities in the microgrid segment - and will serve industries and companies directly with their electricity needs. We are very happy to embark on this new cooperation with our long-term partner, PensionDanmark.”
