A microgrid controller is a system designed to manage and control a microgrid, determining when and how it should connect to or disconnect from the main grid. Its primary function is to automate and control all the components within the microgrid, as well as the connections to the larger electricity grid, to meet electricity demand while maintaining stable operational conditions.
The main types of connectivity in the microgrid controller market are grid-connected and off-grid. Off-grid microgrids are not connected to the main electricity grid, while grid-connected microgrids have electrical links to the main grid, allowing for power distribution and usage. The offerings in the microgrid controller market include hardware, software, and services. These are utilized by various industries, including commercial and industrial sectors, remote areas, military applications, government utilities, institutes and campuses, as well as healthcare facilities.

This microgrid controller market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The microgrid controller market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.77 billion in 2024 to $7.87 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory support and funding, pioneering projects and pilot program, rural electrification programs, early adoption in research and universities, grid modernization initiatives.
The microgrid controller market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for decentralized energy, increasing energy storage deployments, focus on energy efficiency, rise of smart cities and communities, emergence of microgrid-as-a-service (MaaS) models. Major trends in the forecast period include renewable energy integration, grid resilience and reliability, energy storage management, remote and off-grid applications, smart grid integration.
The increasing investments by various governments in microgrid projects are projected to drive the growth of the microgrid controller market in the future. A microgrid controller is a system that manages the microgrid and determines when and how to connect to or disconnect from the main grid. The rise in government investments boosts demand for the microgrid controller market. For example, in 2022, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that clean energy investment is gaining momentum and is expected to exceed USD 1.4 trillion, which will account for nearly three-quarters of the overall growth in energy investment. Therefore, the growing governmental investments in microgrid projects are fueling the expansion of the microgrid controller market.
The growth of the microgrid controller market is expected to be fueled by the rising environmental awareness. Environmental awareness emphasizes the importance of preserving and respecting the natural environment, understanding the impact of human activities on the environment, and advocating for environmental protection. Microgrid controllers offer benefits such as reduced energy production costs and lower environmental impacts, contributing to their market expansion. As per a study by the Pew Research Center, conducted in January 2022 among 10,237 US adults, 69% prefer developing alternative energy sources such as wind and solar, while a similar proportion (69%) supports the United States adopting measures to become carbon neutral by 2050. Consequently, the growing environmental awareness is a driving force behind the expansion of the microgrid controller market.
An emerging trend in the microgrid controller market is the introduction of innovative products. Leading companies in the market are concentrating on delivering inventive solutions to strengthen their market position. For instance, in February 2022, Schneider Electric SE, a France-based company specializing in microgrid controllers, unveiled the EcoStruxure microgrid solution for small and medium buildings in Canada. This all-in-one system facilitates simple integration of distributed energy resources across various facilities, including commercial and industrial buildings, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. The solution aims to provide organizations with enhanced energy resilience, reduced energy costs, and a lower carbon footprint through features such as grid connection management, off-grid mode preparation, and demand charge reduction.
Prominent companies in the microgrid controller market are actively developing advanced microgrid solutions. Microgrids are self-contained energy systems that can operate independently or in conjunction with the main power grid. In October 2023, Vertiv, a US-based critical digital infrastructure provider, launched a 1-MW microgrid to support its new customer experience center. The distinctive features of this microgrid include a 1-MW AC solar array, a 400-kW hydrogen fuel cell, a 1-MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system, and a microgrid controller. The 1-MW microgrid is designed to showcase how data centers can address concerns related to electrical grid capacity and availability.
In January 2022, Kohler Co., a US-based company that specializes in kitchen and bath products, engines and power systems, and hospitality services, acquired Heila Technologies for an undisclosed amount to enhance its clean energy management capabilities. This acquisition allows Kohler to leverage Heila's technology to improve power resiliency and support the global expansion of clean energy solutions. Heila Technologies, also based in the US, specializes in the integration and optimization of distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrids through its Heila Edge platform.
