At VECKTA, we’re co-creating the Energy Transition Platform: the leading global marketplace for design, optimization, and procurement of complete Distributed Energy Systems (DES), with a special focus on industrial microgrids. In this series, we talk with some of the passionate,

While solar and wind turbine generation are more common microgrid generation options, bioenergy microgrids are gaining traction in many areas. Bioenergy is a renewable energy source derived from biomass—organic matter such as crop- and urban wood waste, microalgae, food waste,

The theme for International Women’s Day 2021 is “Choose to Challenge.” This especially resonates with our VECKTA team, as one of our core values is to always challenge limits, never accepting that something cannot be done solely because it hasn’t

With renewable energy sources fast-becoming reliable, cost-efficient sources of electricity, many mining companies are reevaluating their power options. Hybrid power systems—combining two (or more) means of power generation—afford mining companies with a balanced approach to mitigate the risks associated with

Plug and Play’s Payal Patel, Director of Corporate Partnerships, Energy & Sustainability, hosted a webinar on innovation in the energy sector. VECKTA is pleased to have been a part of the Plug and Play innovation incubator. There will be a

It's not just institutions and communities that are getting involved in microgrid projects. Businesses and big corporations are also taking notice of the advantages of deploying microgrids, both to increase resilience against potential outages and to reduce their energy costs.

Energy storage is essentially taking the energy produced at the moment and saving it for future use. Energy storage options for Microgrids have become highly promising and frequently discussed topics within the energy community. There are growing cybersecurity threats and

To stimulate economies globally, governments are committing huge amounts of money. The U.S just signed off on another $900B spending bill and Joe Biden wants to commit another $2T to infrastructure spending when he becomes president. The EU also approved

Among the growing list of forces pushing microgrids and distributed energy resources (DER) forward in the U.S. is an expanding alignment between federal and state efforts to support such technologies, an expert panel said. Current and former state and federal

Between the rising cost of fossil fuels and increased regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing a company's carbon footprint is a question of business efficiency as much as it is of environmental ethics. Renewable energy resources and other carbon-reducing technologies

With a current global market share of 28.6 billion USD and an expected rise to 47.6 billion by 2025, the microgrid market appears poised for significant growth. A CAGR of 10.6% confirms this expectation, and anticipated shifts in the global

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on September 17, 2020 passed Order 2222, removing the barriers for participation of distributed energy resources (DER) with traditional electric power systems. This will allow DERs to compete in all regional organized wholesale electrical
