Synopsis:

Driven by new regulation and a global energy crisis, utilities will spend $1.6 billion on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology for smart metering and demand response in 2011.

While most of the revenues over the next five years will be for the advanced metering infrastructure, in-home "Home Area Network (HAN)" applications and devices that interoperate with smart meters for energy savings and conservation have great developer potential.

This report analyzes the market opportunity and value system for WSN for smart meters and AMI Home Area Networks. Also included is the survey results from 100 utility executives on their current adoption and plans for AMI and demand response.

Primary Research:

End Users
159 interviews with North America utility senior executives

Vendors/Experts
40+ interviews with AMI systems companies, software providers, and component suppliers

in the subject.

Sample Report Findings:

Survey Results:

* 73% of interviewees are current AMR users or have pilots underway

* 44% use mobile radio and 48% use a fixed wireless networking technology for at least part of their AMR/AMI systems

* Nearly half of the electric utilities have demand response programs planned or pilots underway

Technology Developments:

* Utilities are working with leading AMR vendors to create open standards based solutions for managing the energy load and encouraging conservation

* They have selected the ZigBee standard for wireless sensor networks that bridge smart meters with in-home appliances such as thermostats, water heaters, and pool pumps

* A ZigBee AMI profile is underway and will be completed in early 2008. It will leverage the work done on existing profiles such as the recently ratified ZigBee Home Automation Profile.

Market Opportunity:

* The global total Wireless Sensor Network market for AMI and demand response will be worth $1.6 billion in 2011.

* The AMI Home Area Network (HAN) will enable innovative energy saving solutions and presents the most opportunity for new entrants. 

* In 2012, there will be a total possible market of 276 million Home Area Network (HAN) devices worldwide.
