Wood Mackenzie's annual US DER outlook provides a comprehensive analysis of DER deployment and market size across a five-year lookback and five-year forecast period. Accompanying capacity and capex forecasts for each resource type are the key opportunities, risks and policies that will determine its growth. In addition to individual coverage, market sizes are compared to determine DER market share and are compared collectively against bulk generation deployments over the same decade-long period. Resource types covered in the report include: EV chargers, distributed storage, distributed solar, distributed fuel-based generation, heat pumps, smart thermostats, and building automation systems.
