The energy consulting market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of energy consulting has witnessed substantial growth in the past years. It is projected to increase from $17.72 billion in 2024 to $18.69 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%.
Reasons for this growth during the historical period include the revolution in renewable energy, concerns about energy security, energy liberalization and deregulation, as well as environmental concerns and the surge in electricity.
The energy consulting market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are for the energy consulting market size to experience consistent growth in the upcoming years. It is predicted to increase to $22.01 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%.
The upward trend in this period can be linked to factors such as energy transition, goals of decarbonization, models of energy-as-a-service, the industrial revolution, and enhanced government regulations. Noteworthy trends for the forecast period encompass innovative strategies for energy efficiency, the implementation of renewable energy, grid modernization, intelligent grid systems, digitalization, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
The growing need for energy efficiency is predicted to boost the progression of the energy consulting market in the future. The gauge of how well a machine or system turns the energy it consumes into purposeful output whilst minimizing waste is known as energy efficiency. Offering energy-efficient resolutions to decrease carbon footprints, preserve natural resources, and reduce energy consumption are demands from businesses, governments, and individuals due to the mounting concerns for environmental sustainability, energy costs, and conservation of resources. Energy efficiency consulting provides an analysis and optimization of the energy used in various facilities which helps in reducing energy intake and cost while bringing about a positive impact on the environment. The International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported in November 2023 that there was a significant 2% improvement in energy efficiency in 2022 and it's expected to reduce to 1.3% in 2023. It also mentioned that the rise in energy demand by 1.7% in 2023 compared to 1.3% in 2022 is primarily due to the lesser improvement rate of energy intensity. Thus, the escalating demand for energy efficiency is the driving force behind the expansion of the energy consulting market.

Leading corporations in the energy consulting market are prioritizing the creation of state-of-the-art technological tools like power system analysis software to address their power system modeling difficulties. These systems are critical for maximizing and assuring the dependability of electrical networks through the analysis and management of challenging power flow, stability, and fault situations. For example, GE Vernova, an energy consulting firm based in the U.S., launched a revamped version of its Positive Sequence Load Flow Analysis (PSLF) software in July 2023. This software provides clients with a quicker, more efficient method of modeling their power systems. PSLF software usage in energy consulting enables engineers to investigate transfer restrictions, carry out economic dispatch, model power transfer over transmission networks, and study power system conduct in varying conditions. The updated PSLF software presents seamless data and visual integration on a platform ready for future needs, preserving the quick and robust algorithms used by PSLF users. The enhanced version includes superior data alteration features, better data visualization and analysis tools, and forward-thinking drag-and-drop and one-line sketching functionalities. Constructed on a modern software technology platform, GE's upgraded PSLF upholds reliability whilst offering new possibilities for system programmers and managers.
