What are microgrids – and how can they help with power cuts?
Microgrids can step in when the main electricity grid fails. And as they can be powered by renewables, they are a sustainable and affordable option, too.
These Dutch microgrid communities can supply 90% of their energy
Local communities generating their own power could become 90% energy self-sufficient, with potential to be fully self-reliant in the future, according to a Dutch study.
