Key findings
Flexibility value chains are scaling the fastest
While all value chains are seeing growth, the flexibility value chains of demand-side flexibility (DSF) and grid-scale battery energy storage (BESS) are expanding at the highest rates, responding to new market opportunities and volatility challenges.
Grid-scale renewables and electrification remain foundational
These value chains continue to march forwards, driven by electrification of households and businesses and the growing share of solar and wind in power generation.
Green hydrogen is emerging but still nascent
The sector is starting from a low base as it moves from demonstration to commercialisation, with a strong focus on industrial decarbonisation and synthetic fuels.
Smart energy retail is evolving rapidly
With its market share expected to triple by 2030, smart energy retail will play an increasingly important role in engaging customers and unlocking energy system flexibility.
