Top 10 Growth Opportunities in Grid Modernization and Flexibility



The industry faced significant challenges in 2023, as the ripple effect of supply chain and logistical issues echoed throughout the industry, which struggled to meet the strong demand for transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment. Despite supply chain challenges and economic uncertainty, the pressing need for grid modernization to meet the requirements of an increasingly decentralized grid resulted in an investment of $174.42 billion in 2023, up from $162.43 billion in 2022. China, India and South Asia, Europe, and North America account for approximately 80% of the T&D grid equipment market revenues.

The transition from fossils to renewable energy gains pace with record investment in renewables in 2023; solar PV and wind power combined accounted for $567.00 billion. Climate commitments and supportive regulations will drive further investment in the power generation industry and the associated T&D equipment demand for new and aging grids. China has significantly increased its renewable targets in recent years (in part to support domestic technology companies). The Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022 in the United States provides a degree of investment certainly never seen before and incentives for investment in domestic supply chains. The Russo-Ukrainian war has galvanized Europe to act, as energy security has become a global Mega Trend.

Greater grid flexibility and resilience have become a key priority for utilities and effective energy management systems such as distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS) and virtual power plants (VPP) will help ensure a predictable and reliable grid. Energy storage will also be a pivotal technology and allow some deferral of T&D investment.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
