2026 Market Survey: Microgrid and Distributed Energy Projects Grow in Complexity

White Paper Overview

Federal incentive losses won’t stop distributed energy development, but they are accelerating a shift toward projects that can financially stand on their own.

Xendee's new 2026 Microgrid & Distributed Energy Market Research, based on insights from more than 150 industry professionals, shows how developers and project owners are adapting to policy changes, rising electricity demand, and grid constraints by pursuing more complex, value-stacked projects.

The data reveals a clear shift away from subsidy-dependent development and toward microgrids and multi-DER systems that can reduce risk, improve returns, and remain bankable in a more challenging market.

Download the full report to explore:
• How developers are responding to federal funding losses
• Why microgrid projects remain more active than simpler DER projects
• Which technologies are expected to see increased deployment
• What engineers and developers want most from planning and control tools
