Microgrids in Canada Overview
Project Objective: Advance microgrid system designs (<10MW) and control functionalities to (a) Reduce outage time of critical loads by >98% at a cost comparable to non-integrated baseline solutions (uninterruptible power supply + diesel generator) (2) Reduce emissions by >20% (3) Improve system
A Microgrid Playbook
There are over 100 remote communities in Canada with more than 50 permanent residents each. None are connected to our national power grid. Imagine a microgrid system that offsets diesel use for each one. Microgrids are small

6 FAQs about [Microgrid com Canada]
What is Ontario's New nested microgrid project?
The project is supported by Ontario’s Ministry of Energy, Northern Development, under its smart grid programs. The partners in May announced the project as the first planned nested microgrid installation in Canada that will integrate a full-scale, operational smart residential energy system.
What is a microgrid & why do we need them?
Microgrids are small-scale, self-sufficient energy systems. They can be the key to emissions reductions, resilience, and localized control of services—especially in Northern, Indigenous, and remote communities. But there’s one overarching principle: The communities these microgrids serve need to be at the centre of their development.
What is a'smart microgrid community' in Canada?
A development in Canada is one model of what is known as a “smart microgrid community.”
What is elexicon Energy's Community Microgrid?
Elexicon Energy, in collaboration with its partners, Opus One Solutions and property developer Marshall Homes, is developing a community residential microgrid. The microgrid operation will use community solar generation and DERs integrated with a software platform, including Tesla Powerpack and Powerwall storage systems.
Can a smart grid improve the performance of remote microgrids?
In communities like Hartley Bay, a smart grid with demand response will play a crucial role in maximizing the use of renewables. During the last 10 years, CanmetENERGY and national and regional partners have been working on improving the performance of remote Microgrids and reducing their dependence on diesel fuel for electricity generation.
Can a microgrid offset diesel use?
None are connected to our national power grid. Imagine a microgrid system that offsets diesel use for each one. Microgrids are small-scale, self-sufficient energy systems. They can be the key to emissions reductions, resilience, and localized control of services—especially in Northern, Indigenous, and remote communities.
