The microgrid moment has arrived. Are utilities ready? Microgrids have long been billed as a "future solution"—ideal for resilience, sustainability, and distributed generation, but too costly or complex for widespread use. But in 2025, that future is starting to look like the present. As electricity demand is exploding, driven by the growth of data centers, electrification of everything from buildings to transportation, and a surge of economic activity, utilities are struggling to keep up. To highlight how microgrids can fill in this gap, this episode of Power Perspectives features Michael Stadler, Co-Founder and CTO of Xendee—a pioneer in DER and microgrid modeling. How the business case has shifted, thanks to new cost dynamics and technologies? Are we entering a new era of true grid defection? And is this microgrid boom a threat or opportunity for utility leaders? Hear these questions and more answered as we dive in with Michael.
