Microgrids will ease pressure on the power grid and accelerate electrification

Small local electricity grids, so-called "microgrids", are now receiving support from European Energy and CIP and Pensiondanmark, who have invested 750 million. DKK. This is reported by Børsen. The solution is intended to relieve the overloaded Danish electricity grid and contribute to faster electrification of society. According to Knud Erik Andersen, CEO of European Energy, it is obvious to look at microgrids, where the production and consumption of electricity takes place locally:

- It's like creating a small village where producers and consumers are directly connected. This means that you become less dependent on the large electricity distributors, and more and more people are attracted to that, he tells the media. 

Delays in the Danish electricity grid have put several green projects on hold, and both companies and investors are concerned about the pace of electrification. Professor Brian Vad Mathiesen from Aalborg University points out that microgrids can help: "The idea is that we avoid too many new investments in the electricity grid, even though we get more renewable energy. This reduces the need for further expansion, and thus we can electrify faster and cheaper," he says.
