The North American microgrid market is forecasted to grow at nearly 20% CAGR to $8 billion in annual revenue in 2029 led by investments in solar PV and energy storage as well as biomass. Electrical contractors are ideally positioned to help advance microgrid conversations, and yet they typically are not involved before the construction phase of a microgrid project. ELECTRI International has funded the creation of a practical guide to help ECs not only bid these jobs more accurately, effectively, and confidently, but also allow them to better recognize and develop opportunities with new and existing customers. The guide brings together a conceptual framework about microgrids with a non-nonsense walkthrough of the project lifecycle, complete with tips and advice from industry experts representing developers, component suppliers, software integrators, educators, utilities and more; an appendix containing useful forms, links and other materials is also provided. The content is organized into bite-sized chunks that are eminently skimmable, with bolded topic sentences followed by additional information and depth
