Siemens moves microgrid wiring and testing from the jobsite to the factory

Siemens moves microgrid wiring and testing from the jobsite to the factory

Projects that fit Siemens' standard configurations skip much of the on-site integration. Anything else needs custom engineering.

  • 01A microgrid's controller, protective relays and switchboard can now ship as one factory-tested lineup, which moves much of the integration and protection testing off the jobsite.
  • 02The speed in MIS comes from standardization, so what it does for any one project depends on whether that project fits Siemens' standard configurations. Unusual ratings, controls or protection schemes go to custom engineering.
  • 03"Vendor-agnostic" applies to the energy assets: solar, batteries and generators from other suppliers can connect. The control and protection layer is Siemens' SICAM and SIPROTEC.

Hardware takes 61.7% of the $98.5 billion grid upgrade market in 2026

Hardware takes 61.7% of the $98.5 billion grid upgrade market in 2026

Global grid modernization spending hits $98.5 billion in 2026, and 61.7% of it goes to hardware. Equipment supply now sets the pace. That could squeeze utilities and data center builders competing for the same high-voltage components.

  • 01When hardware holds 61.7% of the grid modernization market, factory capacity sets the pace for upgrades.
  • 02Distribution networks hold 55.6% of the market, and utilities in the Zpryme survey also ranked distribution automation, FLISR and hardening as top priorities, so feeder-level equipment is where budgets and forecasts agree.
  • 03Smart grid and grid modernization forecasts range from 5.7% to 15.6% annual growth depending on what they count, so the first question for any vendor-cited number is which definition sits under it.
