Complex Rate Analytics

Customer Information Systems and Time-of-Use and Complex Rate Analytics: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts: 2023-2032

Time-varying pricing is becoming more widespread and a powerful driver due to the growing perception that it is a best practice. Multiple countries, including the US, are seeing a simultaneous shift toward more complex rate structures that effectively leverage the benefits of advanced metering infrastructure to deliver multi-pronged value streams for utilities and customers alike. From peak demand management and distributed energy resource (DER) optimization to energy affordability and customer satisfaction, new and advanced rate structures offer a logical mechanism for utilities to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.

While established customer care providers have enhanced their abilities to bill, model, and manage basic time-of-use (TOU) and net metering rate structures, significant gaps remain in legacy systems’ ability to support complex rate design, shadow billing, automated billing, and hyper-personalized rate coaching and education. Complex rate engines and advanced disaggregation methods employed for TOU recommendations, DER program enrollment, and billing support offer a glimpse into new software capabilities that aim to scale this emerging field of energy analytics.

This Guidehouse Insights report examines the global marketplace for energy IT and OT software and services. It outlines the drivers and barriers behind the growing market for energy IT, OT, and data analytics solutions for five global markets: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. It provides details on market sizing for the forecast period from 2023 through 2032, segmented by global region and technology segment.
