Virtual Power Plant Market Highlights 2020 – 2029
The virtual power plant market is anticipated to garner a sizeable revenue by recording a noteworthy CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2021 – 2029, on account of the increasing demand for cheap and renewable energy sources among people around the world. In 2019, more than 7000 TWh of energy worldwide was generated by renewable sources. Along with these, ease of implementation and flexibility in trading associated with virtual power plants are other factors which are estimated to drive market growth in the coming years. Furthermore, as virtual power plants are considered to be more cost-effective and require minimum maintenance effort compared to the conventional power plants, the market is expected to witness ample expansion opportunities over the forecast period.
The market is segmented by end-user segment into residential, industrial and commercial, out of which the industrial segment is projected to hold the largest market share, which can be credited to the growing user base of the VPP services in industrial settings. However, the segment for residential end-users is anticipated to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period owing to the rise in urbanization and increasing demand for green energy worldwide. Additionally, on the basis of technology, the demand response segment is expected to grab the largest market share over the forecast period on the back of the advantages such as smart load management during peak hours and improved energy efficiency of the grid.
