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?”
