Integrated Demand-Side Management

Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Programs:
Market Drivers and Barriers, Technology Trends, and Global Market Forecasts

Integrated demand-side management (IDSM) has been a topic among DSM professionals and utilities for a decade. However, efforts to integrate energy efficiency and demand response (DR) in utility programs thus far have been challenging. Energy efficiency and DR have traditionally been siloed within utilities, with misaligned goals and barriers to transferring funds between programs. Today, the integration of DSM programs has become increasingly popular, especially in places such as California, where the combination of energy efficiency and DR programs has been used as a fundamental part of the state’s energy planning and strategy.

This Navigant Research report analyzes the global market for IDSM, with a focus on energy efficiency and DR programs. The study provides an analysis of the market issues, including drivers and barriers, associated with IDSM. Global market forecasts for spending, segmented by region, extend through 2025. The report also examines the history and evolution of DSM, as well as the common definitions of IDSM.
