According to the December 2014 report of the research firm, the adoption of smart metering and technologies for advanced energy storage for unconventional oil and gas and solar energy can generate a market valuation between $21 billion to $27 billion by 2025.
According to report, the combined economic impact of the energy technologies could be $50 billion to $95 billion per year in 2025, including $3 billion to $24 billion in annual value from avoided carbon emissions.”
