BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Since 2010, demand response (DR) systems have matured in the electricity market and have been afforded the opportunity to bid directly against traditional electricity generation. Today, a number of factors point toward accelerating DR adoption in North America and other regions of the world. In particular, the changing resource mix in electric grids globally is creating more potential for DR to play a pivotal role in conserving energy use and maintaining grid stability. Click to tweet: According to a new report from Navigant Research, worldwide revenue from DR programs will grow from $1.6 billion annually in 2014 to $9.7 billion in 2023.
“States like New York, Massachusetts, California, Hawaii, and Maryland are at the forefront of grid modernization, and are transforming the utility business model to incentivize more active customer participation in DR programs,” says Brett Feldman, senior research analyst with Navigant Research. “At the same time, technology advances in metering, controls, and end-use devices are making it easier for customers to participate in DR programs and manage their energy usage.”
While North America will remain the largest market for DR programs through 2023, demand response is also growing internationally, as Europe is poised to open more markets and the developed countries of Asia Pacific embrace automated DR. Several countries in Europe are in the process of changing their electricity market structures, according to the report, and opening up more opportunities for demand response to compete against generators.
