According to a recent report from MarketsandMarkets, the global Commercial Energy as a Service (EaaS) market is projected to reach USD 55.04 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4% from 2024 to 2030. This growth is largely driven by increasing demand for energy efficiency, rising electricity prices, and regulatory pressures that require businesses to adopt sustainable practices.
The shift toward energy as a service models is becoming more prevalent in commercial buildings. These models allow organizations to manage their energy consumption more effectively while adhering to state and municipal mandates aimed at reducing carbon footprints. As businesses face escalating costs and stringent emission standards, the adoption of EaaS solutions provides a viable pathway to improved operational performance and compliance.
Key Drivers and Market Dynamics
The expansion of distributed energy resources, including rooftop solar systems and energy storage solutions, is further propelling this market. Subscription and performance-based service models, which lower upfront capital investment requirements, are also facilitating broader adoption among commercial entities.
Operational and maintenance (O&M) services represent the second-largest share of the EaaS market. These essential services ensure the long-term reliability and security of energy assets in various settings, including retail establishments, offices, and institutional facilities. The increasing complexity of energy systems highlights the importance of O&M services, which are vital for meeting contractual performance levels under EaaS agreements.
As the market shifts toward integrated energy solutions, the demand for O&M services is expected to rise significantly. These services not only enhance energy reliability but also help clients achieve sustainability goals and reduce operational risks.
