As per the current market research conducted by the CMI Team, the Global Distributed Energy Generation Market size is expected to record a CAGR of 13.5% from 2025 to 2034. In 2025, the market size is projected to reach a valuation of USD 311 Billion. By 2034, the valuation is anticipated to reach USD 1082 Billion.
Distributed Energy Generation Market Overview
According to industry experts at CMI, the creation of electricity from sources near the point of consumption, as opposed to at a sizable, centralized power plant, is known as distributed energy generation, or DEG. These systems can be off-grid or connected to the grid, are small-scale, and frequently decentralized.
The market growth is mainly driven by variables such as rising integration of renewable energy source, growing transition towards sustainable energy source, increasing government initiatives, the adoption of EVs across the globe and among others. Nevertheless, the limited technical expertise and lack of standardization hamper the market growth.
Distributed Energy Generation Market Growth Factors and Dynamics
Growth in renewable energy
The growing demand for renewable energy is one of the important factors propelling distributed energy generation. The need to move away from conventional fossil fuels is widely recognized due to the climate change and its adverse impact on the environment.
Renewable resources like solar, wind, and hydro power can be used more effectively due to distributed energy generation. It reduces dependency on centralized grids and enables organization and communities to take active role on energy systems.
Rising demand for decentralized power generation
The distributed energy generating market industry, which provides a significant economic advantage, is developing as a result of the increased need for decentralized electricity generation. The growing climate change and increasing demand for sustainable energy sources drives the market.
The significance of the technology that is driving the process should be emphasized; particularly popular technologies are solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, and combined heat and power systems. Additionally, the DEG adoption is facilitated by the availability of natural gas and the gradual development of less costly alternatives.
Lack in infrastructure and regulatory hurdles
The lack in infrastructure and regulatory issue hinder the market expansion. The use of different sources is very challenging as existing systems are centralized power generation and distribution. Furthermore, regulatory frameworks encounter challenges when attempting to adjust to decentralized energy models and frequently favor major utilities.
