With growing electricity consumption, the peak electricity demand is expected to increase manifold by 2050. It is believed that, owing to their intelligence features, smart grids have the potential to reduce the projected peak demand increases by up to 24% across some of the major regions of the world. This is because sensors in smart grids can detect peak load in advance and divert surplus supply from low demand areas to meet the peak requirements in a particular region. Moreover, with countries having ambitious renewable energy targets, it is important to ensure that a compatible infrastructure is put in place in parallel.
Several geographies across the world have already recognized the need of upgrading to smart grids and have taken initiatives to encourage this transition. The US, for instance, allocated USD 4.5 billion initially towards grid modernization; the investment increased over the years under the American Recovery Reinvestment Act of 2009. In Europe, the European Technology Platform (ETP) SmartGrids was formalized in 2005 to create a vision for the European networks till 2020 and beyond. A recent 2017 report by Joint Research Centre (JRC) included 950 smart grid projects (R&D and demonstration) across Europe; across these, a total of EUR 5 billion has been invested.
Emerging economies are also planning to upgrade existing systems to smart grids. The ambitious renewable energy targets of countries such as China and India are expected to drive the smart grids market in the future. In China, the government announced an investment of USD 96 billion between 2010 and 2020 to accelerate smart grids deployment. Similarly, in India, several pilot stage smart grid projects are underway.
Smart Grids are expected to play a pivotal role in clean energy initiatives. Specifically, smart meters are amongst the most focused infrastructures across several countries. In the US, more than 75 million smart meters had been installed by 2017. In addition, the EU has set a target of replacing at least 80% (~ 245 million) of the conventional electricity meters with smart meters by 2020. In fact, it is reported that Sweden, Finland, Italy and Luxembourg have already reached full deployment. The EU Smart Grids Task Force believes that the planned rollout of smart meters and smart grids has the potential to reduce carbon emissions in the EU by 9%.
The ‘Smart Grids Infrastructure Market, 2018 - 2030’ report features an extensive study of the current landscape and future outlook of the growing market for smart grids.

Chapter Outlines
- Chapter 2 is an executive summary of the insights captured in our research. The summary offers a high-level view on the likely evolution of the smart grids infrastructure market in the long term.
- Chapter 3 is an introductory chapter that highlights the technological evolution of traditional electricity grid components and the associated challenges. In addition, the chapter emphasizes on the need to shift towards smart grids and provides details on the key smart grid equipment/modules/components/systems.
- Chapter 4 presents a case study on the regulatory standards and norms defined by various geographies for smart grid deployment, and elucidates the key policies designed by governments and regulatory institutions in these geographies. It lists the standards designed by several regulatory authorities, including (in alphabetical order) the Australian Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism, European Committee for Standardization (CEN), European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF), India Smart Grid Task Force (ISGTF), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Japan Smart Community Alliance (JSCA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), for their respective geographies.
- Chapter 5 includes information on around 170 key stakeholders that offer smart grid-based equipment/modules/components/systems for electric utilities across the world. The information is presented on the basis of type of transmission and distribution equipment offered, type of substation automation modules/components offered, and type of supported communication systems offered. In addition, we have provided information on the geographical location, year of establishment and employee size of the companies.
- Chapter 6 features detailed profiles of some of the leading stakeholders that offer smart grid equipment/modules/components/systems to electric utilities. Each profile includes an overview of the company, details on their smart grid offerings and the recent developments that have taken place with respect to electrical networks/grids.
- Chapter 7 presents a benchmark analysis of all the players engaged in this domain. It highlights the capabilities of these companies in terms of their expertise across smart grid equipment/modules/components/systems offered to the electric utilities. The analysis allows companies to compare their existing capabilities within and beyond their peer groups and identify opportunities to become more competitive in the industry.
- Chapter 8 presents a market attractiveness analysis of likely major markets across the globe. It highlights key parameters such as total geographical area, quality of workforce, ease-of-trade, smart grid policy initiation, capital support, total power consumption in the region, renewable energy usage plans, likely cost of implementation/deploying new technologies, regulatory standards, availability of cybersecurity solutions, and overall benefits and awareness, that are likely to determine the future growth opportunities across several regions, such as (the US, the EU, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Russia, Singapore, India and UAE)
