A new report from Navigant
Research provides a quantitative analysis of the global market for
distributed energy resources (DER) technologies, with installed capacity
and revenue forecasts in the commercial and industrial (C&I) and
residential segments, through 2028.
Rapidly expanding investment in DER represents a major shift from the
centralized, one-way electrical grid. Market growth has generated
concern and optimism throughout the power industry as regulators and
grid operators work to understand the evolving landscape that is
redefining the relationship between utilities and customers. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from Navigant Research, global
annual revenue from DER capacity is expected to grow from $172.5 billion
in 2019 to $649.6 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate of
15.9%.
“The global proliferation of DER has begun to have a significant
influence on the electricity grid and industry,” says Roberto Rodriguez
Labastida, senior research analyst at Navigant Research. “Initially, DER
was used at the market edge, where conventional power was difficult and
expensive to provide. However, technology advances, business model
innovation, changing regulations, and sustainability and resilience
concerns have brought DER into the core of future deployment of energy
infrastructure.”
According to the report, the shift from centralized generation requires
innovative technologies and solutions on the part of grid operators.
Advanced software and hardware are expected to enable greater control
and interoperability across heterogeneous grid elements that are key
components of the Energy
Cloud.
The report, Global
DER Overview, provides a quantitative analysis of the global
market for DER technologies and assesses the major market developments,
regulatory environment, emerging business models, and technology trends.
Technologies covered include distributed generation, demand response
(DR), DER management systems (DERMSs), EV charging, distributed energy
storage systems (DESSs), and energy efficiency. Installed capacity and
revenue forecasts in the C&I and residential segments extend through
2028. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download
on the Navigant
Research website.
