Demand for microgrids has been explosive. With fires, storms, and other emergency situations, businesses and consumers are rushing to obtain a better source of energy. Home microgrid demand in California skyrocketed 1,000% over the last month, according to Microgrid Knowledge. All in response to the wildfires and power shutoffs. “Not only has demand increased; so has the pressure to install home microgrids as quickly as possible, and some companies say they can’t move quickly enough to satisfy customers’ requests.” There’s so much demand around the world at the moment, the industry could reach $47.4 billion over the next five years. Not only could further growth be driven by the energy issues in California, but also the rising demand for “clean energy, increasing instances of cyberattacks on the energy infrastructures, growing requirement for reliable and secure global power supply, and rising global deployment of microgrids for rural electrification,” as noted by Research and Markets. As demand grows, some of the top companies to watch include CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLSK), Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), and Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:BLDP).
CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLSK) BREAKING NEWS: CleanSpark, Inc., a diversified software and services company today announced that it has been awarded a $370,000 order for its intelligent automatic transfer switch (ATS) switchgear. The Company’s intelligent switchgear is used to automatically transfer power supply from a primary source to a backup source when it senses a failure or outage, thus assuring uninterrupted power. These intelligent units also allow the system owner the opportunity to participate in regional energy markets when it makes financial sense to sell surplus power back to the grid. This order represents a follow-on order for a Houston, TX based energy developer specializing in natural gas turbine powered microgrids. The final deployments of these units are expected to be on multiple Texas locations of the nation’s largest retail chain.
“This intelligent switchgear order further validates CleanSpark’s unique energy solutions and strengthens our strong revenue outlook to begin our new fiscal year. Increasing frequency of power outages due to grid instability, natural disasters and wildfires is expected to result in significant continued interest for both our hardware and software solutions” stated Zachary Bradford, CleanSpark’s Chief Executive Officer.
