A microgrid can lower energy costs for consumers and businesses Microgrids can both reduce costs and provide a revenue stream for their customers. They reduce costs through the efficient management of energy supply. They supply revenue by selling energy and services back to the grid. This gives consumers a new kind of control in energy markets.
Microgrids require a sophisticated energy management system to ensure that energy is being used efficiently and effectively, and that the flow of energy is balanced between generation and storage. In addition, microgrids must be designed to be flexible and scalable, able to adapt to changing energy needs and requirements.
Since microgrids are not the only way to enhance energy resilience, communities may want to consider alternate resilience investment options, including hardening existing transmission and distribution systems, weatherizing power generation sources, and building additional distribution systems to provide energy supply redundancy.

A microgrid is a local with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. It is able to operate in and off-grid modes. Microgrids may be linked as a or operated as stand-alone or isolated microgrid which only operates not be connected to a wider electric power system. Very small microgrids are sometimes called nanogrids when they serve a single building or load.
