Microgrid-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a financing mechanism that allows organizations to deploy microgrids without any upfront investment. MaaS providers facilitate the financing, operation, and maintenance of the microgrid, eliminating financial risk and complexity, thereby making the implementation of more microgrids feasible. The microgrid-as-a-service model simplifies the process and reduces financial risks, promoting the development of additional microgrids.
The primary types of microgrid-as-a-service services include engineering and design services, software as a service, monitoring and control services, and operation and maintenance services. Engineering services encompass all activities and equipment installed during land development for water, sewerage, and electricity installation, solid waste disposal, and the construction of streets, roads, and stormwater drainage systems. Microgrid types include remote or islanded types and grid-connected types, which are used in various sectors such as utility, residential and commercial, military, industrial, and others.

The microgrid-as-a-service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.41 billion in 2024 to $2.73 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing energy demand, grid reliability concerns, rising focus on renewable energy, government initiatives and incentives, growing need for energy resiliency
The microgrid-as-a-service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the transition to smart grids, rising demand for distributed energy resources, increasing adoption of electric vehicles, focus on sustainability and carbon reduction, and growth in industrial and commercial sectors. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence in microgrid management, the rise of energy-as-a-service models, the development of blockchain in energy transactions, the emergence of community microgrids, and the increased use of microgrids in critical infrastructure resilience planning.
The anticipated surge in electricity consumption is set to drive the growth of the microgrid-as-a-service market in the foreseeable future. Electricity, defined as an electrical current used for heating, lighting, and powering machinery, is experiencing an uptick in consumption. This surge is fueling the expansion of microgrid-as-a-service, offering benefits such as reduced long-term energy expenditures, cost-free upgrades to essential energy infrastructure, and enhanced energy reliability. As reported by the Energy Information Administration in April 2023, overall electricity end-use utilization in the United States for 2022 was approximately 2.6% higher than in the previous year. Additionally, industrial sector retail electricity sales in 2022 increased by around 0.7% compared to 2021. Thus, the increased electricity consumption is a key factor driving the microgrid-as-a-service market.
The growing emphasis on integrating renewable energy sources is expected to further boost the microgrid-as-a-service market. Renewable energy integration involves incorporating sources such as wind and solar into existing energy systems to meet power demands sustainably. Microgrid-as-a-Service provides a practical approach to integrating renewable energy, enhancing grid resilience, optimizing energy management, and making clean energy more accessible and cost-effective. According to the Energy Information Administration, the forecast for 2023 anticipates that 16% of total energy generation will come from renewable sources, up from 14% in 2022. This increasing focus on renewable energy integration is a significant driver of the microgrid-as-a-service market.
Major companies operating in the microgrid as a service market are concentrating on creating revolutionary products to improve their market share. This focus on innovation is driven by the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions and the need for more resilient energy systems in the face of climate change. For instance, in April 2023, Schneider Electric, a France-based multinational corporation has partnered with GreenYellow, a France-based company. Through this partnership they are aiming to deliver innovative commercial and industrial microgrid solutions across Europe. This collaboration seeks to enhance energy management and sustainability for businesses, leveraging Schneider Electric's expertise in energy management and automation alongside GreenYellow's capabilities in renewable energy solutions. By combining their strengths, they plan to offer integrated microgrid systems that can optimize energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and support the transition to renewable energy sources.
Companies in the microgrid-as-a-service market are also focusing on developing resiliency services to enhance profitability. Microgrid-based resiliency services leverage microgrids to improve the resilience and reliability of electrical power supply. In April 2023, Xcel Energy Inc., a US-based electric utility company, introduced Empower Resiliency in Minnesota, expanding upon its 2021 launch in Wisconsin. This program aims to provide customers with elevated service reliability, exceeding standard benchmarks. Xcel will manage the ownership, installation, operation, and maintenance of microgrid assets, including battery storage, renewable energy sources, and backup generators, meeting resilience needs in Minnesota.
In January 2022, Kohler Co., a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Heila Technologies for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to enhance Kohler Co.'s clean energy management portfolio by integrating Heila Technologies, a company specializing in the integration and operation of distributed energy resources (DERs), enabling Kohler to leverage Heila's innovative modular energy platform to strengthen power resiliency solutions for both residential and industrial applications. Heila Technologies is a US-based renewable energy semiconductor manufacturing company that specializes in providing microgrid as a service (MaaS).
