A growing trend is to move off the grid. Markets once owned by large corporations slowly begin to dwindle. Disconnecting from centralized structures is a trend for companies and households as well.

The biggest impact of this movement will be the energy market. With production prices for small to medium power generation facilities coming down, it makes economic sense for companies and households to produce their own power. Be it solar panels on the roof, a private wind turbine or a shared biogas facility.

The energy corporations of today need to adapt to this change. They can’t rely on offering power, which is already a commodity anyhow. They must seek new ways provide people with energy and services surrounding energy. What is a struggle for established companies, might be an opportunity for startups. Companies offering small wind turbines or solar panels will find a huge market before them. Also the challenge of storing energy and ensuring 24/7 availability including servicing the little power plants is a growing market. As a prominent company, Tesla entered this market with easy to install, durable and good looking Solar Roof and its Powerwall batteries.

So keep an eye on that trend. You might be able to enter a huge growing market.
