The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, rapid urbanization, and from the rise in digitalization.

The energy-as-a-service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $130.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid industrialization, increasing government support, increasing distributed energy resources, and the increasing number of smart meters. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on artificial intelligence, virtual power plants, focus on battery energy storage, use of cloud technology, focus on new subscription-based services, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and increasing investments.

The rise in global energy consumption is anticipated to significantly boost the growth of the energy-as-a-service market in the coming years. Energy consumption encompasses the usage required for various activities, including transportation, lighting, cooling, and heating in buildings, as well as in sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and mining. For instance, in June 2024, DieselNet reported that global primary energy consumption reached a record high in 2023, rising by 2% compared to 2022 and totaling 620 Exajoules (EJ). This growth rate surpasses the previous decade's average of 1.5% per year. As energy demand increases, businesses and organizations are increasingly seeking flexible, efficient energy solutions, further driving the adoption of energy-as-a-service models.

The proliferation of smart meters is expected to play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the energy-as-a-service market in the forecast period. Smart meters, electronic devices that record energy consumption data, empower utility companies to provide comprehensive information to clients about their energy usage throughout the day. This capability allows customers to proactively manage their energy consumption. For instance, according to the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union, there is a plan to install up to 225 million smart meters for electricity and 51 million for gas in the EU by 2024. This initiative aims to provide approximately 77% of European consumers with smart electricity meters, representing a potential investment of €47 billion ($50 billion). The increasing adoption of smart meters is expected to drive the energy-as-a-service market, facilitating more efficient and informed energy management for consumers.

Major companies in the energy-as-a-service market are increasingly focusing on innovative solutions, such as integrated energy management platforms, to offer consumers flexible and cost-effective energy options that enhance sustainability and optimize energy consumption. One notable trend is the integration of community battery systems with energy retail plans, which allows customers to access and utilize stored renewable energy, leading to cost savings and improved grid reliability while promoting the use of clean energy sources. For instance, in August 2024, Ausgrid, an Australia-based electricity distributor, launched a new energy storage-as-a-service (ESaaS) offering in collaboration with Origin Energy and Energy Australia. This ESaaS initiative aims to capitalize on the growing interest in community battery energy storage systems (BESS) by providing eligible customers with an energy retail plan that allows them to access energy stored within these community batteries. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also supports the transition to more sustainable energy practices.

Strategic partnerships and collaborations are gaining prominence in the energy-as-a-service market, as companies aim to broaden their service portfolios and extend their geographic presence. A notable instance is the August 2022 partnership between TC Energy, a Canada-based energy infrastructure company, and Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), a Mexico-based electricity services provider. This collaboration focuses on jointly building essential energy infrastructure to cater to the growing central and southeast areas of Mexico, showcasing the strategic value of such partnerships in expanding energy services. Additionally, in March 2023, Honeywell, a US-based conglomerate corporation, announced a strategic investment in Redaptive, a US-based energy equipment and solutions provider. This investment aims to accelerate collaboration in bringing Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) capabilities to privately owned commercial and industrial buildings in the private sector. The collaboration combines Honeywell's expertise in energy savings performance contracting (ESPC) and building control capabilities with Redaptive's innovative data technology and EaaS platform, facilitating the rapid deployment of technologies designed to reduce carbon emissions across a diverse portfolio of buildings. This strategic partnership exemplifies the collaborative efforts to advance energy efficiency solutions in the market.

In May 2022, GE Digital, a US-based industrial software and IoT services provider and a subsidiary of General Electric, acquired Opus One Solutions, a Canada-based software company, for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition enhances GE Digital's capabilities in helping utilities make decisions on the integration of renewables and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) across the electric grid at scale. Opus One Solutions specializes in supporting electric utilities with energy planning, operations, and market management optimization.
