Commercial Energy as a Service (EaaS) Market Size - By Type (Energy Supply Service, Operational and Maintenance Services, Energy Efficiency and Optimization Services), Forecast, 2025 - 2034

Commercial Energy as a Service Market Size

The global commercial energy as a service market was valued at USD 62.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2034. Increased focus on reducing energy cost and rising commercial building load variability will drive the adoption of EaaS solutions. Switching to service-based energy purchase allows businesses to reduce initial expenditure. Cost affordability and ease of energy management will spur the rollout of EaaS, fueling market growth across other commercial industries.
 

Large-scale infrastructure partnerships integrating renewable generation, energy efficiency upgrades, and long-term cost savings are fueling the expansion of EaaS market commercially. In October 2024, Abilene Christian University partnered with Bernhard on a USD 84.3 million EaaS project incorporating an 18 MWac solar farm and extensive HVAC and automation improvements, saving 29% of its energy consumption and over USD 140 million in utility expenses. Moreover, increasing investments in intelligent energy infrastructure will also add to market growth.
 

Increased focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility is compelling companies to pursue more sustainable and efficient energy options, creating market growth possibilities. The cost-saving high value function of such services reduces the need for capital investment in energy infrastructure upfront, enabling companies to tap into energy-efficient technology and renewable energy without shouldering all the financial cost, thus fueling product penetration.
 

The growing deployment of grid-scale battery energy storage systems is poised to boost the adoption of EaaS solutions in commercial settings. In 2025, the U.S. is projected to install 18.2 GW of large-scale battery storage, surpassing the previous year’s record of 10.3 GW. This growth strengthens grid reliability and facilitates renewable energy integration, accelerating the broader commercialization of EaaS offerings.
 

Expanding electrification of heating, cooling, and mobility applications will complement the service adoption. The rising need to decarbonize building operations while improving efficiency will enhance demand for tailored energy solutions. Additionally, distributed energy resources and digital monitoring systems integration will promote improved load management. This will provide greater operational control, increase energy savings, and enhance the product adoption in the commercial energy as a service market.
 

High import tariffs on essential energy components such as solar panels and battery storage systems, combined with global supply chain disruptions stemming from Trump-era trade policies, are expected to impact the EaaS market. These tariffs will increase project costs, delay deployments, and reduce price competitiveness, as a result hindering the pace of renewable energy adoption and restraining the growth of the EaaS industry.
