Small Business Standards (SBS), the SME representing the voice of Small and Medium Enterprises in European and international standardisation, is sponsoring this service.

SMEs are more often involved in the generation of electricity from renewable sources, or in the production of modules and components for renewable energy. In addition, some SMEs need to reduce their energy costs, and the use of self-generated renewable energy can contribute to reducing production costs.

DERs often combine renewable energy installations such as rooftop solar modules, small wind turbines or small-hydro with a battery or a generator to form a microgrid or a minigrid. Microgrids are used by small residential or commercial consumers; minigrids are larger configurations, which can power large commercial outlets, universities, factories and even islands.
