It would be difficult to overestimate the impact that corporate procurement of renewable energy, primarily through power purchase agreements (PPAs), has had on the overall renewable market. In less than a decade, renewable energy created from corporate PPAs went from zero to more than 13 gigawatts in the U.S. alone. |

| With the increasing penetration of distributed generation and the reducing cost of energy storage and renewable, microgrids are receiving a great deal of attention. Microgrids provide multiple revenue streams, from peak shaving to ancillary services, maximizing the overall financial benefits of this investment. Microgrids can be categorized based on application, size, and connection to the grid. |

|
| Energy storage on a commercial scale is the holy grail for supporters of renewables, including French President Emmanuel Macron. Unfortunately for his government, a dispute with the European Union is blocking investment for facilities which could store enough wind or solar power for hundreds of thousands of homes. |
