Schneider Electric delivers resilient, sustainable and scalable energy solutions, supported by its EcoStruxure platform, based around a comprehensive suite of microgrid solutions from hardware, software and services. These are tailored to different levels of complexity from fully customised systems to standardised, modular offers.
Microgrid Flex for example delivers pre-engineered, modular systems such as the Energy Control Centre, battery storage and microgrid controllers that are tested to work seamlessly together. This in turn helps to streamline deployment, reduces engineering time and accelerates ROI, making advanced microgrids more accessible and scalable.
As organisations worldwide face mounting challenges from climate-related grid disruptions, rising energy costs and grid congestion driven by the accelerating pace of electrification, microgrids have become essential for ensuring energy availability, resilience and sustainability.
Schneider Electric’s microgrid supporting premium sparkling wine producer Domaine Carneros in Napa Valley, California, keeps the winery powered during outages, lowers energy costs and reduces emissions.
The system includes solar panels, battery storage and advanced controls managed by EcoStruxure software. This saves over $70,000 a year, cuts generator fuel use by 70 percent and produces enough clean energy to power more than 100 homes, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality wine production.
Similarly, at JFK Airport’s Terminal One in New York City, AlphaStruxure – a joint venture between Schneider Electric and Carlyle Group – is delivering one of the largest airport microgrids in the United States. This innovative system will provide resilient, low-carbon power to the terminal, supporting uninterrupted operations for millions of travellers and helping the airport achieve its ambitious sustainability targets.
These real-world examples earned Schneider Electric the highest overall score of 90.5 for Microgrid Integrators, with standout ratings in Vision (91.8) and Execution (89.3).
“Extreme weather events, aging grid infrastructure and global energy price volatility are today’s reality which is putting added pressure on businesses to ensure energy continuity, reduce emissions and control costs” said Khaled Fakhuri, Senior Vice President, Microgrid at Schneider Electric. “Microgrids are therefore essential to operations. This recognition from Guidehouse Research validates that our approach directly addresses market needs to deliver resilient, software-driven energy solutions that help customers stay powered, sustainable and prepared for increasing frequency of disruptions.”
Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure platform integrates hardware, software, and services to deliver scalable, standardised microgrid solutions. With over 400 microgrids deployed globally, the company serves commercial and industrial customers, government agencies and remote communities.
“Microgrids are no longer niche solutions, they’re becoming foundational to how critical infrastructure and commercial operations manage energy” added Grant Samms, Research Analyst with Guidehouse Research. “As organisations face mounting pressure to ensure continuity, control costs, and modernise legacy systems, the ability to deploy flexible, software-driven microgrids is transforming energy strategy from reactive to resilient.”
