Technical Briefing: Generating Energy with Rooftop Wind-Powered Microgrids

Webinar

Friday 30 October 2026
10:00 - 11:00

Join Hover Energy UK to explore how wind-powered microgrids can support retrofit, resilience and net zero goals in dense urban environments.

As London works to decarbonise, a retrofit first approach is increasingly central to reaching real net zero. Where grid connections are constrained and energy costs remain volatile, generating power on site offers a case based on reliability, sustainability and cost resilience case.

Join Garrett Moran, Executive Vice President of Engineering at Hover Energy,

for a technical briefing on wind-powered microgrids and how they can be applied to existing buildings on dense urban sites.

The webinar will cover:

Microgrids 101: What a microgrid is, how it is managed, and where it fits alongside the grid
Wind turbines 101: The fundamentals of wind generation and the particular considerations of urban settings
Wind-powered microgrids in practice: Hover's approach, and the sustainability and resiliency case for retrofit across the UK built environment
