Schneider Electric and Mainspring Energy announced at the annual CERAWeek Conference that they are partnering to offer a new hybrid-energy technology that combines Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Microgrid Solution and turn-key design-build services with Mainspring's Linear Generator. The combination provides power and fuel-flexibility as well as energy resiliency for commercial and industrial customers. As the energy sector seeks to decarbonize operations and protect power resilience amidst increasing extreme weather events and grid demands, this innovative energy solution allows customers to efficiently generate electricity onsite and operate in parallel to the power grid or independently from the grid when needed.

For facilities such as data centers or healthcare facilities, the decentralization of power offered by the new Schneider Electric-Mainspring Microgrid Solution ensures accessible electricity to power critical operations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The novel fuel-flexibility of the Mainspring generator also allows customers to dynamically switch among multiple fuel options, including low- and zero-carbon fuels, without retrofit. The collaboration between Schneider Electric and Mainspring Energy offers power solutions along with Schneider's microgrid designs, construction management, and project management expertise.

This helps customers navigate the energy transition, increases energy resiliency, generates cost savings, and helps them meet their sustainability goals.
