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, high-performance team members who are making this happen. Tristan Jackson is VECKTA’s Co-Founder and Chief

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, or even purpose-grown grasses. When deployed in microgrid projects, bioenergy usually consists of biogas generated

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 been done before. Women are at the heart of the VECKTA team, driving innovation as

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 power outages while also lowering operating costs and improving sustainability. Previously, concerns about the reliability

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 high level of innovation in the U.S. energy industry over the next couple of decades

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. This segment is known as the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) microgrid sector, and as with

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 frequent natural disasters that pose a risk to the bulk electric grid, which threatens the
