To generate and store their own energy, microgrids increasingly use renewable energy – like solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and, as in Sister Alphonsine Ciza's case, water – in the form of hydropower. This means more microgrids would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As the world grapples with the dual challenges of climate change and energy security, the integration of renewable energy sources into. By incorporating renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and advanced control systems, microgrids help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote the use of clean and sustainable energy sources. They can also be used to provide power in remote areas.
