Recent changes in federal incentives and other funding sources have upended expectations for microgrids and distributed energy projects — stalling some projects, reconfiguring others and helping some move forward. Technological developments also play a role in today’s market.
We need your help to understand what’s really happening on the ground.

Energy Changemakers, Factor This Renewables, and Xendee are conducting a brief survey to capture these changes, including the loss or reduction of federal support that is affecting project pipelines and asset decisions. Your perspective will help reveal how these shifts are reshaping one of the most innovative parts of the energy sector.
The survey takes just a few minutes, and your responses are confidential. In appreciation, participants will receive early access to the results, including insights into how peers across the industry are adapting to this new environment.

👉 Take the survey now

Your input will make a difference. Together, we can help the industry — and policymakers — better understand what’s at stake for the future of microgrids and distributed energy.
