Recession and Green Technology Trend to Drive New Wave of Smart Grid Consumer Investment
FARMINGTON, Conn., May 21, 2012/PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Global Information Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of two brand new Residential Clean Energy and Smart Grid Market Research reports from Pike Research:
Home Energy Management: Market Analysis and Forecasts
Pike Research's new Home Energy Management market research report, In-Home Displays, Networked HEM Systems, Standalone HEM Systems, Web Portals, and Paper Bill HEM Reports: Market Analysis and Forecasts, identifies the major restraints for home energy management uptake. For the past decade, market and analyst expectation had been that a smarter grid would enable the wider use of new tools and incentives for consumers to use energy more efficiently. People would save money, and utilities would benefit from lower overall consumption. However, the home energy management (HEM) market continues to struggle for more traction. Indifference to the promised potential savings, a resistance to paying extra for HEM hardware, unsettled standards for interoperability, a crowded vendor space, and lukewarm support by some utilities have halted consumer uptake.
As Pike Research notes, however, this view is starting to change. Over the coming years, a continued desire among consumers to reduce bills, regulatory mandates for greater efficiency, wider use of variable pricing schemes, and a strong 'green' sentiment will combine to help drive adoption forward. This report examines global and regional home energy management trends. It provides market forecasts through 2020, with regional breakdowns for paper bills, web portals, standalone systems, in-home displays, and integrated HAN/HEM systems.
