Based on connectivity, the grid connected segment is anticipated to reach more than USD 3.6 million by 2034, on account of their seamless transitions between the connectivity and islanded modes, making them highly reliable for utilities aiming to mitigate power interruptions. Increasing demand for connectivity offerings improved energy efficiency, reduced infrastructure costs and high scalability, allowing utilities to expand capacity incrementally as demand grows leading to drive the business landscape.
Based on power source, the diesel generators segment is set to grow at a CAGR of over 19.2% through 2034, due to their ability to quickly ramp up and supply consistent energy ensuring critical utility functions remain operational. Growing adoption of flexible and scalable power sources that can easily added or removed based on changing energy demands will foster the product demand. Furthermore, this adaptability also supports utilities in meeting varying load requirements without significant infrastructure changes, further fueling the business statistics. Rising deployment of utility scale projects in remote locations where grid connectivity is either unavailable or unreliable will complement diesel generators' adoption.
The U.S. utility scale DC microgrid market is likely to exceed USD 500 million by 2034. Growing push towards renewable energy integration coupled with rising utilities and organizations' decarbonization goals will augment the product demand, as an ideal solution to manage the variability of renewable generation, especially in states such as California and Texas where solar and wind energy are abundant. Increasing need for energy resilience in the U.S. due to increasing occurrences of natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and grid failures, will further complement the product adoption.
In Europe, aggressive sustainability and decarbonization targets in countries such as Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands will propel the product adoption to reduce energy waste, integrate renewables, and improve grid stability. Increasing government initiatives to encourage the adoption of microgrids and smart grid technologies including the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program and funding mechanisms for clean energy projects will stimulate the business projections.
