About Us
Who We Are
US Microgrids is a specialized energy solutions company focused on onsite power generation, battery storage, and microgrid development—built from real-world experience, not theory.
The company was founded by Jim Aubin, a sales leader and operator with over a decade of experience building energy businesses, scaling teams, and generating hundreds of millions in revenue across the solar and distributed energy industry.
That background shows up in how we operate.
We don’t just design systems—we understand what it takes to actually get projects sold, engineered, financed, and built in the real world. We’ve worked directly with customers, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers, navigating real constraints like budgets, timelines, and equipment availability.
The result is a practical, execution-focused approach:
- Lower your energy costs
- Increase your reliability
- Give you control over your power
Our Mission
To accelerate the adoption of onsite power and microgrid systems that make businesses more resilient, more efficient, and less dependent on the traditional utility model.
We believe the future of energy is:
- Distributed
- Intelligent
- Resilient
- Customer-controlled
What Makes Us Different
We Don’t Just Design — We Deliver
Many firms will create a design and hand you a plan.
We help you actually execute it.
From sourcing equipment to supporting EPC and construction, we stay involved to make sure your project gets across the finish line.
Power Is Priceless. We Make Sure You Have It.
The power grid is changing—and not fast enough.
Rising energy costs, increasing outages, extreme weather, and growing demand from data centers, electrification, and industry are putting more pressure on the grid than ever before.
The companies that will win in this environment are not waiting for the utility to catch up.
They are building their own power.
US Microgrids exists to help them do exactly that.
Real-World Microgrid Expertise
Microgrids are not theoretical.
They are complex systems that must work in real operating conditions.
We focus on:
- Peak shaving and demand reduction
- Battery + generator integration
- Islanding and resilience
- Redundancy strategies (N+1, 2N)
- Fuel strategy and runtime planning
- Utility interconnection considerations
- Cost vs performance optimization
