In 2024, utilities have new options for their networking needs. Globally, shared spectrum options are emerging, and in the US, new spectrum bands are available for critical infrastructure needs. At the same time, interest in private 4G LTE is growing among larger utilities worldwide. Low power wide area (LPWA) options are also finding their place in the mix for smart metering—especially in emerging markets—and for asset monitoring and predictive maintenance applications.

Public cellular providers have renewed interest in garnering industrial Internet of Things businesses and are making a range of LPWA and 4G cellular offerings attractive to utilities. Longer term, public carriers and those considering private LTE are eyeing the opportunities that 5G wireless may present. The need for more robust, grid-wide connectivity and visibility remains clear as utilities digitize so they can adapt to a rapidly transforming operating environment. Guidehouse Insights expects more than $145 billion to be invested in networking infrastructure, communications nodes, and services over the remainder of the present decade.

This second edition of the Guidehouse Insights Smart Grid Networking and Communications Database provides a granular look at how utilities are building their communications networks, detailing the technologies employed and the applications supported by these networks. It includes ten-year forecasts for investment by utilities in more than a dozen communications hardware and services and details spend on services, including cellular, satellite, leased lines/TDM, and tower leasing. Forecasts are segmented for five global regions. The covered supported applications include smart metering networks, distribution automation, and substation automation at the transmission, distribution, and secondary transformer station levels as well as asset monitoring.
