- In March 2025, Siemens Energy launched its Modular Hybrid Energy System (MHES), a next-generation solution that integrates solar PV, diesel generators, and battery storage. Designed for remote and off-grid applications, the MHES allows intelligent energy management with AI-powered controls, significantly reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The product is aimed at industrial, mining, and rural electrification projects, where grid access is limited, offering a flexible, scalable alternative to conventional diesel-only systems.
- In February 2025, Schneider Electric entered a strategic partnership with CrossBoundary Energy to accelerate the deployment of hybrid solar-diesel microgrids for telecom towers in sub-Saharan Africa. The collaboration combines Schneider’s EcoStruxure Microgrid technology with CrossBoundary’s infrastructure-as-a-service model to deliver reliable, clean power to telecom operators in off-grid areas. This initiative supports the expansion of mobile connectivity in remote regions while significantly cutting operational costs and emissions.
- In January 2025, Aggreko acquired Resolute Energy, an Australian firm specializing in hybrid power systems for the mining sector, to bolster its renewable energy capabilities and market reach. This acquisition enables Aggreko to integrate solar and battery storage with diesel generators in large-scale mining operations, offering clients a more sustainable and cost-effective energy solution. It also enhances Aggreko’s position in the Asia-Pacific region’s fast-growing hybrid power market.
- In December 2024, HIMOINSA launched the HPS20, a compact solar-diesel hybrid generator designed for telecom base stations, off-grid applications, and emergency response. The unit features an integrated MPPT solar controller and smart energy management, delivering up to 60% diesel savings. Its portability, efficiency, and low emissions make it ideal for deployments in remote or disaster-stricken areas, reinforcing HIMOINSA’s commitment to innovation in hybrid energy systems.
- In November 2024, ABB partnered with Ensol Tanzania to co-develop hybrid energy systems for rural health centers and agro-processing facilities in East Africa. The partnership utilizes ABB’s advanced inverters and monitoring tools combined with Ensol’s localized implementation capabilities to provide reliable electricity in off-grid communities. This initiative supports regional energy access goals and underscores ABB’s role in delivering sustainable power solutions for developing regions.
