Automated Demand Response: Connecting Utilities Worldwide

摘要

The $197 billion Smart Grid market represents a significant business opportunity for utilities, equipment suppliers, system installers and end customers to leverage a new demand response (DR) standard called Open Automated Demand Response or OpenADR. Navigant Research forecasts global spending on Automated Demand Response (ADR) will grow from $13 million in 2014 to more than $185 million in 2023. The market opportunity is further bolstered by data from the U.S. Department of Energy. Many of the 99 Smart Grid projects developed through the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program are using some form of DR, helping utilities maintain grid reliability and enabling customers to realize significant value.
