Hello Edward,
In 2025 the market for renewable energy-based microgrids experienced rapid change. Federal incentive rollbacks and funding uncertainty created real headwinds, while electricity demand, rising prices, and grid reliability concerns accelerated market momentum.
New research reveals how distributed energy companies are adapting to new market opportunities for growth in 2026.
Xendee teamed up with Energy Changemakers and Factor This Renewables to survey more than 150 industry professionals across the DER and microgrid ecosystem. The resulting report, "Microgrid and Distributed Energy Projects Grow in Complexity: Developers Pursue Value to Overcome Federal Incentive Losses", provides a data-driven look at how developers are responding to today’s market realities, including:
- Growth challenges and opportunities for PV and battery markets in coming months.
- Why Microgrid and distributed energy companies are bullish about the market despite harm from the loss of federal incentives.
- How distributed energy project owners/developers are leveraging increasing project complexity to stack value and achieve required returns on investment.
- What this means going forward for companies that are currently focused on PV + storage only.
The research shows a clear industry transition. As incentives decline, successful projects are less dependent on subsidies and more focused on optimizing value through multi-asset, intelligently controlled microgrids.
