A growing wave of government funding is expected to accelerate distributed energy resources (DER) adoption rates over the next decade. As operators of commercial and industrial (C&I) sites continue to invest in DER resilience and sustainability benefits, this wave of funding, new regulations, and growing corporate interest in decarbonizing will boost growth in this sector. Even so, the needs of C&I sites vary widely and common DER deployment models may not always be directly applicable.
Growing government support and mandates are the largest driver for C&I DER adoption. Aside from regulatory requirements, companies are eager to adopt clean DER to help themselves meet internal climate goals. Significant financial reasons also exist for these adoptions, such as lower energy costs and the ability to participate in grid services like load management. While these forces are strong, the sector does have significant barriers to deployment including capacity needs that are higher than most DER can meet, fire safety issues, and low awareness of successes from comparable C&I facilities.
This Guidehouse Insights report examines the global market for DER technologies in industrial and commercial buildings, including solar PV, generator sets, distributed energy storage systems, and EV charging systems. It analyzes current market issues, technology trends, drivers, barriers, and the policy landscape. Market forecasts for revenue and capacity are segmented by technology, vertical, and region, and extend through 2033.
