Commercial and industrial demand response sites expected to surpass 1 million by 2023, says Navigant

In recent years, demand response (DR) in the commercial and industrial segment has matured and is now treated in some electricity markets as a resource equivalent to generation. The changing resource mix in electric grids globally is creating more opportunities for DR to play a pivotal role in balancing loads and ensuring a reliable supply of electricity, particularly during peak demand episodes. According to a new report from Navigant Research, the number of worldwide commercial and industrial DR sites is expected to grow from 92,000 in 2014 to more than one million in 2023.
