Microgrids
During the last decades, there has been a significant deployment of microgrids (e.g., in countries like the United States, Switzerland, and Denmark) and a consequent increase in renewable energy generation.

As is clearly outlined on the Australian Government's Energy Innovation Toolkit, there is no definition of a Microgrid captured within the Energy Legislation or framework. Most recently, this has taken a journey with terminology more clearly defined as a Stand-Alone Power System or SAPS, recently implemented in 2022.
On 25 August 2023, we announced the Regional Microgrids Program of up to $125 million to develop and deploy microgrids across regional Australia. The Regional Microgrids Program (the Program) seeks to support the development and deployment of renewable energy microgrids across regional Australia that contribute to the Program Outcomes.
Microgrids offer numerous benefits to the Australian energy landscape, including: Reliability and Resilience: Microgrids can operate independently from the national electricity market, providing a more reliable power source by utilising local energy generation and storage.
Remote: These microgrids operate in isolation from the main grid, serving communities or industries in off-grid locations. They typically rely on renewable energy sources and energy storage systems. The following diagram shows the participants and anticipated relationships in Microgrid operations. Source:
