Or as S&C Electric’s David Chiesa puts it: “If you’ve seen one microgrid you’ve seen one microgrid.” So there is no quick and simple price to give a prospective customer. Sources we’ve interviewed cite project proposals as low as $250,000 to as high as $100 million. Generation typically accounts for most of the cost.
Several factors, including generation choice, battery size, and interconnection upgrades, influence the cost of microgrids. However, there are ways to manage these factors to ensure microgrid projects can move forward with satisfied customers, as discussed in the Microgrid 2021 conference session called “Why Does a Microgrid Cost What It Costs?”
According to Nordman, the future of Microgrid technology lies in making it more modular, widespread, and inexpensive so that people could potentially purchase generation or storage systems and bring them home to use.
The complexity of grid connection requirements varies significantly based on location and local regulations, with costs ranging from €50,000 to €200,000 per MW of capacity. System integration expenses cover the sophisticated control systems, energy management software, and monitoring equipment essential for optimal battery performance.
