Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) represents a business model in which customers pay for an energy service without an initial capital investment. Typically structured as a subscription, this model involves the ownership of electrical devices by a service company or the management of energy usage to deliver the desired energy service.
Key components of energy-as-a-service include energy supply services, maintenance and operation, and energy efficiency and optimization. Energy supply services encompass the utilization of energy conversion and transmission technology, along with supporting services, ensuring a continuous supply of energy and energy carriers meeting predetermined standards at the lowest possible cost. Industrial businesses are the primary consumers of energy resources, with utility service providers and third-party providers offering these services to industrial and commercial end-users.

This Energy-as-a-service market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The energy-as-a-service market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $64.57 billion in 2023 to $70.98 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The historical growth can be attributed to robust economic expansion in emerging markets, accelerated urbanization, and the increased prevalence of digitalization.
The energy-as-a-service market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $103.13 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. Forecasted growth is attributed to rapid industrialization, government support, increased distributed energy resources, and a rising number of smart meters. Key trends include a focus on artificial intelligence, virtual power plants, battery energy storage, cloud technology, subscription-based services, strategic partnerships, collaborations, and heightened investments.
The anticipated increase in energy consumption worldwide is poised to propel the growth of the energy-as-a-service market. Energy consumption encompasses the energy utilized for various activities, including transportation, lighting, building cooling and heating, as well as applications in agriculture, manufacturing, and mining. As of April 2022, the International Energy Outlook report released by the US Energy Information Administration revealed that total U.S. energy consumption in 2021 experienced a notable 4.7% increase compared to 2020, reaching 97 quadrillion British thermal units (quads). Among different industries, the transportation sector recorded the most significant annual surge in energy use, approximately 10.2%. This surge in global energy consumption is a key driver propelling the growth of the energy-as-a-service market.
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.
Technological advancements are emerging as a prominent trend in the energy-as-a-service market, with major companies actively focused on developing new technological solutions, particularly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance their market position. An illustrative example is the collaboration between Infosys Ltd., an India-based IT and consulting services company, and Bharat Petroleum, a globally integrated energy company. In October 2021, they partnered to create and pilot an energy-as-a-service (EaaS) solution aimed at assisting companies in improving the energy efficiency of their infrastructure and achieving carbon reduction goals. The collaboration involves the co-development of a digital platform capable of gathering data from various energy assets and utilizing AI to optimize energy supply and demand for power, heat, cooling, and electric vehicle (EV) charging. The pilot testing of this digital platform is planned at the Infosys Pune Development Centre, simulating a small city with multiple energy generation, storage, and consumption sites. If successful, the strategy will be implemented with clients and on additional Infosys campuses in India, contributing to effective energy management and emissions reduction.
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 Comision 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.
