The demand charge management artificial intelligence (AI) market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.71 billion in 2024 to $2.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.8%. The growth in the historic period can be linked to rising commercial and industrial electricity costs, increasing awareness of energy efficiency, government incentives and energy regulations, rapid electrification across transportation and industry, and the growing popularity of subscription-based and service-oriented energy solutions.

The demand charge management artificial intelligence (AI) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be driven by expanding smart grid and digital infrastructure deployment, rising adoption of IoT and connected energy devices, greater integration of renewable energy sources, increasing electrification of transportation and industrial systems, and the growing adoption of energy-as-a-service (EaaS) models. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of AI with distributed energy resources (DERs), increased adoption of cloud-based energy management platforms, expansion of real-time energy analytics and automation, the emergence of AI-driven virtual power plants (VPPs), and the incorporation of edge computing for faster demand response.

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources is expected to drive the growth of the demand charge management AI market. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, offer sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. The adoption of these sources is being accelerated by the global shift toward cleaner energy generation, as governments and industries aim to reduce carbon emissions, enhance grid sustainability, and meet rising energy demands. Demand charge management AI is benefiting from this shift by helping to balance the variability of renewable power generation with real-time energy demand, optimizing energy storage, and ensuring grid stability. For example, in the United States, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that solar and wind power generation increased by 25% and 8%, respectively, in 2024 compared to 2023. As a result, the growing penetration of renewable energy is fueling the demand for AI solutions that can optimize demand charge management and energy consumption patterns.

Companies in the demand charge management AI market are focusing on innovations such as AI-powered energy platforms to improve power generation efficiency and address the growing energy needs of data centers. These platforms use artificial intelligence to monitor, analyze, and optimize energy generation, storage, distribution, and consumption. For example, in October 2025, Ducon Infratechnologies Ltd, an India-based technology company, launched IQ Energy AI, a platform designed to optimize power generation amid rising energy demand from AI-driven data centers. The platform uses predictive maintenance, load forecasting, and renewable energy integration to help utilities and industries reduce downtime by up to 30%, improve fuel efficiency by 10-15%, and reduce forecasting errors by 15-20%. With its flexible deployment and API integration, IQ Energy AI offers significant cost savings, supports cleaner energy transitions, and is expected to generate over $100 billion in global savings over the next decade. This launch underscores Ducon’s commitment to advancing innovation and sustainability in the energy sector.

In March 2025, Bidgely, a U.S.-based software company, acquired Grid4C for an undisclosed amount to enhance its AI-driven energy management capabilities. Through this acquisition, Bidgely aims to integrate Grid4C's technologies for fault detection, diagnostics, and distributed energy resource forecasting into its demand charge management and load optimization solutions. Grid4C, also based in the U.S., specializes in AI-powered solutions for demand charge management and demand response optimization, further strengthening Bidgely’s position in the AI-driven energy management market.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.
