Decreasing technology prices and the possibility of third-party
energy efficiency program administration are helping to drive energy
efficiency spending in North America

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/DER?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#DERlt;/agt;–A new report from Navigant
Research analyzes the North American energy efficiency
implementation market, providing market forecasts, segmented by energy
sector and country, through 2028.

As the global electric power industry shifts toward a cleaner,
distributed energy ecosystem known as the Energy Cloud, energy
efficiency programs are also evolving. Electric energy efficiency in
North America is moving to integrate other distributed energy resources
(DER) to help ensure grid reliability, meet state and provincial
efficiency requirements, and help some localities meet their emissions
reduction targets or other energy goals. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
annual energy efficiency spending in North America is expected to reach
nearly $11.3 billion in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%
over the forecast period (2019-2028).

“The developing use cases and the increasing integration of utility
energy efficiency programs with DER suggest continued growth of energy
efficiency over the coming decade as more connected devices come online,
and utilities simultaneously work to ensure grid reliability,” says
Brett Feldman, research director with Navigant Research.

According to the report, decreasing technology prices and the
possibility of third-party program administration—vendors and service
providers that contract with utilities or other program administrators
to manage energy efficiency programs—are also driving energy efficiency
spending in North America. While steady growth is expected to continue
through the decade, regulatory inconsistency, tight pricing margins, and
a market saturation of energy efficiency technologies present challenges.

The report, North
American Utility Energy Efficiency Program Implementation,
analyzes the North American energy efficiency implementation market. The
study examines drivers behind the newly developing business models for
energy efficiency as well as implementation challenges. North American
market forecasts, segmented by energy sector and country, extend through
2028. The report also profiles key energy efficiency implementers and
provides recommendations for both implementers and utilities looking to
expand their offerings in the evolving energy efficiency space. An
Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the Navigant
Research website.
