​Five Market Trends That Are Re-Shaping C&I Energy Management

Emerging technology and the changing role of large energy users

Today’s large electricity customers are exposed to an increasingly complex array of energy management and procurement opportunities. A growing number of new solutions and upgrades continue to promise enhanced energy consumption and awareness, streamlined day-to-day business processes, and improved operational efficiency. Apart from proven applications such as demand response or commercial solar, an emerging class of utility and wholesale programs further offer energy managers new options to optimize their investments and realize positive project cash flows.

Commercial adoption of energy technology is also highly dependent on state and local rates and incentives, which can make calculating returns difficult in the shifting grid edge environment. States like California have made it easy to go solar and explore energy storage solutions, while the states in the Northeast have committed close to a half a billion dollars to microgrid related-development to meet resiliency needs.

This webinar introduces GTM Research's Grid Edge Customer Network and provides a look at the top five market trends facing today's C&I energy manager and the opportunities emerging to solve these challenges.
