Philip Barton
Director, Microgrid Competency Ctr. N.A.
Schneider Electric


Philip Barton leads Schneider Electric’s North American strategy around organizing microgrid projects and solutions, both internally and externally with partner companies. Since 1998, Philip has led Schneider Electric teams in retrofitting entire microgrids or any part of their enabling technology, including distributed generation, power equipment, engineering services, inverters, metering, software, and power controls. From 2009 to 2011, Philip created and directed Schneider Electric’s Federal Energy Solutions Business. The Energy Solutions Federal team developed hundreds of advanced metering infrastructure and other energy projects worldwide. Two of the projects were Schneider Electric’s first federal Energy Savings Performance Contracts. They are still recognized as among the fastest commissioned projects in DOE program history. One of the two was a net zero project that combined 3MWs of self-funding solar PV inside of an ESPC at 3 USCG bases in Puerto Rico. The self-funding project combined 28% savings plus 35% renewable energy to reach 63% of net zero.
