The Open Source Opportunity for Microgrids: Unlocking Resilient Energy Solutions

The global energy landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by the need for resiliency, decarbonization, and sustainability. In this era of economic, environmental, and societal disruptions, microgrids are emerging as versatile and powerful solutions. These small-scale, local energy systems operate independently from traditional utility grids and offer a range of benefits. 

However, to truly scale microgrid deployment and overcome existing challenges, the potential of open source solutions must be harnessed. In this blog, we explore the valuable insights learned from «The Open Source Opportunity for Microgrids,» a report published by Linux Foundation Research in partnership with LF Energy, Intentional Futures, and sponsored by Futurewei. We delve into the challenges the microgrid industry faces and discuss why reading this report is essential for anyone interested in the future of energy.
