Building-to-Grid (BtG) technology refers to an advanced energy management approach that enables buildings to interact dynamically with the electrical grid. It utilizes smart controls, sensors, and energy storage systems to adjust power consumption, generation, and storage in response to grid signals, helping to balance energy supply and demand in real-time. The primary purpose of BtG technology is to enhance grid stability, energy efficiency, and sustainability. It allows buildings to act as active participants in the energy ecosystem, reducing peak load, integrating renewable energy sources, and supporting decarbonization and resilience goals in modern power systems.
The global building-to-grid technology market reached a value of nearly $57,339.92 million in 2024, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.54% since 2019. The market is expected to grow from $57,339.92 million in 2024 to $89,899.20 million in 2029 at a rate of 9.41%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.90% from 2029 and reach $137,667.01 million in 2034.
Rise In Smart Cities Projects
During the historic period, the building-to-grid technology market was mainly driven by the rise in smart cities projects. Smart city frameworks emphasize sustainable and efficient energy usage, encouraging the deployment of B2G technologies in buildings to support real-time monitoring, demand response, and renewable integration. This focus on digital and connected infrastructure increased adoption of smart sensors, metering systems, and control technologies, positioning B2G (building-to-grid) solutions as essential components of urban energy networks. For instance, in December 2023, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a US-based national metrology institute, the NIST global community technology challenge (GCTC) presented three innovative smart city projects at the Smart Cities Connect conference in Washington, D.C. These projects demonstrated efforts by cities to enhance transparency and improve access to information between local governments and residents, positioning them as models for other communities. Additionally, in April 2023, according to the IMD Smart City Index Report, a Switzerland-based business school, the number of smart cities worldwide increased from 118 cities in 2021 to 141 cities in 2023. Therefore, the building-to-grid technology market was mainly driven by the rise in smart cities projects.
Emerging Power Infrastructure Innovations For AI Data Centers
Major companies in the market are driving power infrastructure innovations such as high-voltage DC systems and intelligent energy management to enhance efficiency and resilience in AI data centers. These advancements support the growth of the building-to-grid (B2G) technology market by enabling energy-intensive buildings to interact more dynamically with the grid. Improved energy efficiency, seamless integration of on-site renewables, and enhanced demand response capabilities position buildings as active grid participants. As adoption rises, these technologies lay the groundwork for scalable, flexible, and smarter energy ecosystems. For example, in October 2025, Eaton, an Ireland-based intelligent power management company, announced the delivery of a new reference architecture designed to accelerate the adoption of 800 VDC power in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Eaton's new design, built in support of the 800 VDC architecture announced by NVIDIA (US-based technology company), leverages Eaton's innovative power management technology to protect and optimize high-density computing infrastructure and serves as a critical milestone in Eaton's grid-to-chip strategy for meeting the increasing energy demands of AI data centers.
The global building-to-grid technology market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 22.44% of the total market in 2024.
