--Research Shows Energy Savings and
Sustainability Continue to Top Respondent Priorities--
Today, NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NRG) in collaboration with Smart
Energy Decisions published new research that shows cost savings and
sustainability continue to top the list for customer needs when
considering distributed energy resources (DERs). The goal of the
2021 State of Distributed Energy Resources Study was to better
understand DER energy trends with the nation’s largest electric
power users.
In the study, when asked what the key driver was for considering
DERs, nearly 85 percent of respondents said cost savings remain the
priority for guiding decisions. In addition to reducing costs,
nearly two-thirds of those surveyed cited improving energy
efficiency and making progress toward emissions reductions as
leading considerations. The study also demonstrated a continuing
interest in DERs, notably for resources such as energy storage,
that can deliver multiple benefits. A quarter of respondents had
already deployed this technology, and 59 percent report actively
considering storage in the future.
The study interviewed more than 100 large electric power users
regarding their energy plans and how DERs fit into their overall
strategy.
