On-Site Power Generation to Kickstart the Decarbonization of the Commercial and Industrial Sector, According to Lux Research

The decarbonization and decentralization of the energy system have spurred on-site power generation at the residential level, with rising deployments of rooftop solar systems and behind-the-meter batteries. In parallel, on-site generation has seen adoption in commercial and industrial (C&I) facilities facing issues related to grid capacity, energy security, process integration, and production of nontradable byproducts. Moving forward, the same factors that have triggered distributed generation to date are poised to play a role in the future when C&I facilities become even larger consumers of electricity, according to new data from Lux Research, a leading provider of tech-enabled research and innovation advisory services.
