Market Overview

Smart energy is a comprehensive approach to energy management that uses innovative technology to optimize energy costs and efficiency. It combines sustainable, renewable energy sources with IoT energy management solutions and devices to deliver cost-effective and efficient energy distribution. Smart energy systems combine smart electricity, thermal, and gas to identify synergies between them and achieve an optimal solution for each sector and the overall energy system. While smart energy systems aim to accomplish energy efficiency through AI and machine learning technologies, they also help integrate renewable energy sources. This is important because renewable energy sources can sometimes be intermittent, and this is very excellent opportunity for the smart energy market. 

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2022, the advanced (smart) metering infrastructure (AMI) installations held by U.S. electric utilities accounted for about 119 million installations or 72% of all electric meter installations. Approximately 88% of AMI installations were for residential consumers, while AMI meters made up 73% of all residential electric meters. AMI installations come in a variety of forms, from straightforward hourly interval meters to real-time meters with integrated two-way communication that can record and send data instantly.
