HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 25, 2019 / The future of electricity may be defined by microgrids– a greener and more safeguarded alternative to traditional and massive regional power grids.

GlobalData's latest report "Microgrids, Update 2018 - Global Market Size, Competitive Landscape, and Key Country Analysis to 2022", reveals that the Americas will continue to be the largest microgrid market, reaching $18 billion in 2022, underpinned by movements in the U.S. market. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 18%, making it the fastest growing market during the forecast period.

Nirushan Rajasekaram, Power Analyst at GlobalData commented: "Globally, there is an increasing demand for electricity. In addition, the global power market is in a transition phase, supporting the expansion of distributed generation to circumvent volatile fossil fuel costs and supply market risks."

Since the power is localized, micro-grids may help safeguard against widespread blackouts like the ones seen after large natural disasters.

Investing in microgrid tech is tough because there aren't many pure play microgrid companies. However, CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) is one of the few. The company is one of the US's top microgrid solutions according to Navigant Research, who added them to their top 10 in 2018. They have made deals across the board including a $900k contract to install a CLSK microgrid at a U.S. Marine Corps Base, as well as an $18.3 million deal with NYSE company MAC.

Today we are highlighting: CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK), Solar Edge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG), InfraREIT, Inc. (HIFR), Seaspan Corporation (NYSE: SSW), and Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HASI).

CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) (Market Cap: $143.972M; Share Price: $3.47) has a chance to not only be one of the top microgrid and renewable growth performers this year, but the company also has a firm foot in the cannabis market. They have created a solution for the cannabis industry that can help growers save as much as 82% on electricity costs. According to their latest press release, the company is focusing its marketing efforts on the largest users in the cannabis market - the agricultural (grow) facilities. This can serve as a strong potential source of revenues in the coming years. The company hopes to get its first contract soon in 2019.

CLSK just closed a $5 million round of funding, recently completed the acquisition of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., which is expected to add $3.6 million in gross sales to CLSK's bottom line during early 2019 alone and is working on an up listing.
