Utilities are quickly improving the suite of tools that they use to provide energy efficient solutions to their residential and small business customers. While online marketplaces remain a key tool for reaching customers, more sophisticated home energy reports (HERs) are supporting this effort with new means of customer engagement, digital self-service, rebate targeting, and other capabilities.
The ongoing integration of utility marketplaces for services (e.g., weatherization) and products (e.g., smart thermostats) is also continuing alongside distributed energy resources (DER) inclusion-such as solar panel deployment, EV charging, and energy storage-into the product mix. After the coronavirus pandemic, the DER trend in particular is expected to accelerate, as is an increasing market opportunity in selling to small and medium business (SMB) customers. Energy reports are enabling these new revenue streams by communicating more customized, accessible, and actionable data to potential buyers.
This ‘Guidehouse Insights report ’ examines the global online energy marketplace landscape. The study provides an analysis of market issues including drivers and barriers associated with utility online marketplaces as well as HERs. Global market forecasts for marketplace and HER revenue are provided by region and customer segment through 2030.
