Dual recognition highlights Schneider Electric’s global leadership in resilient, software-driven energy infrastructure.
Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been ranked No. 1 in the 2025 Guidehouse Research Leaderboard for Microgrid Integrators, and recognised as a top five company globally in the Distributed Energy Storage Systems (DESS) Integrators Leaderboard.
The rankings reaffirm Schneider Electric’s position as a global frontrunner in delivering resilient, sustainable and scalable energy solutions. Backed by its EcoStruxure™ platform, Schneider Electric offers a comprehensive suite of microgrid solutions from hardware, software and services, tailored to different levels of complexity from fully customised systems to standardised, modular offers. EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Flex for example delivers pre-engineered, modular systems such as the Energy Control Center, battery storage and microgrid controllers that are tested to work seamlessly together. This standardisation streamlines deployment, reduces engineering time and accelerates ROI, making advanced microgrids more accessible and scalable.
As organisations worldwide face mounting challenges from climate-related grid disruptions, rising energy costs and grid congestion driven by the accelerating pace of electrification, microgrids have become essential for ensuring energy availability, resilience and sustainability. Schneider Electric’s leadership in this space is not just recognised by industry analysts but is also demonstrated through transformative solutions deployed on customer projects.
Real-World Impact: From Wineries to Airports
At Domaine Carneros, a renowned premium sparkling wine producer in the heart of Napa Valley, California, Schneider Electric delivered a microgrid that keeps the winery powered during outages, lowers energy costs and reduces emissions. The system includes solar panels, battery storage and advanced controls managed by EcoStruxure™ software. It saves over $70,000 a year, cuts generator fuel use by 70% and produces enough clean energy to power more than 100 homes, ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality wine production.
Similarly, at JFK Airport’s Terminal One in New York City, AlphaStruxure – a joint venture between Schneider Electric and Carlyle Group – is delivering one of the largest airport microgrids in the United States. This innovative system will provide resilient, low-carbon power to the terminal, supporting uninterrupted operations for millions of travellers and helping the airport achieve its ambitious sustainability targets.
These real-world examples reflect the strengths highlighted in the Guidehouse Research Leaderboards, where Schneider Electric earned the highest overall score of 90.5 for Microgrid Integrators, with standout ratings in Vision (91.8) and Execution (89.3).
“Extreme weather events, aging grid infrastructure and global energy price volatility are today’s reality which is putting added pressure on businesses to ensure energy continuity, reduce emissions and control costs. Microgrids are therefore essential to operations,” said Khaled Fakhuri, Senior Vice President, Microgrid at Schneider Electric.
“This recognition from Guidehouse Research validates that our approach directly addresses market needs to deliver resilient, software-driven energy solutions that help customers stay powered, sustainable and prepared for increasing frequency of disruptions.”
Schneider Electric’s leadership is anchored in its EcoStruxure™ platform, which integrates hardware, software, and services to deliver scalable, standardised microgrid solutions. With over 400 microgrids deployed globally, the company serves commercial and industrial customers, government agencies and remote communities.
“Microgrids are no longer niche solutions, they’re becoming foundational to how critical infrastructure and commercial operations manage energy,” says Grant Samms, Research Analyst with Guidehouse Research. “As organisations face mounting pressure to ensure continuity, control costs, and modernise legacy systems, the ability to deploy flexible, software-driven microgrids is transforming energy strategy from reactive to resilient.
