Navigant Research Expects Global Revenue for Commercial and Industrial Building-to-Grid Integration to Exceed $28 Billion in 2026

Business benefits for innovators of the building-to-grid platform
include lower costs and sustained profits, making for a stronger bottom
line and new revenue streams, report finds

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#B2G–A new report from Navigant
Research examines the global market for commercial and industrial
(C&I) building-to-grid (B2G) integration, analyzing the use cases,
opportunities, and challenges associated with deploying the technology
in the Energy Cloud.

The intelligent building represents a paradigm shift for businesses via
the integration of facilities management and IT, which unifies strategy,
investment, and decision-making. B2G takes this concept further by
creating a cohesive approach for data-driven optimization of systems
inside the walls of the facility and across campuses, including onsite
distributed energy resources (DER). Click
to tweet: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
global revenue for C&I B2G integration is expected to grow from $1.3
billion in 2017 to $28.8 billion in 2026.

“The door is open for a market orchestrator—a sort of captain at the
helm of a new platform or framework for transactions tied to energy
supply and demand,” says Casey Talon, principal research analyst at
Navigant Research. “For regulated utilities, B2G can threaten existing
customer relationships and business models. For technology providers and
other third parties, B2G is an avenue for customer acquisition and new
business development.”

Business benefits for innovators of the B2G platform include lower costs
and sustained profits for a stronger bottom line and new revenue streams
for top line growth for the three key constituent groups:
utilities/energy providers, technology vendors, and building
owner/operators. According to the repot, B2G also represents an
opportunity for major C&I building constituents to address their need to
transform legacy business models to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving
technology marketplace.

The report, Building-to-Grid
Integration, analyzes the global market for B2G integration in
three key segments: smart grid IT, building optimization, and DER
controls and optimization. The report provides an analysis of the market
issues, including use cases, opportunities, and challenges, associated
with the development of the B2G platform in the Energy Cloud. Global
market forecasts for revenue, broken out by segment and region, extend
through 2026. The study also examines the enabling technologies related
to B2G, as well as the standard business models. An Executive Summary of
the report is available for free download on the Navigant
Research website.
