ADI evaluated distributed power and grid‑edge storage opportunities by linking customer economics, reliability requirements, and technology performance across industrial and field‑based applications. The assessment combined voice‑of‑customer interviews with internal market sizing models to test where storage, power quality, or hybrid solutions materially improve outcomes. Findings differentiated scalable use cases from niche deployments where adoption is constrained by cost or operational complexity.
The client
Energy technology developer
The situation
Fragmented end‑use economics and uneven adoption signals made commercial focus and capital allocation uncertain.
ADI’s contributions
Primary operator research
Conducted voice‑of‑customer interviews across oilfield and industrial users to surface adoption drivers and constraints.
Proprietary market modeling
Applied ADI’s internally developed sizing and adoption models refined across prior distributed power engagements.
Technology fit assessment
Evaluated where power‑quality and storage capabilities materially improve customer economics and reliability.
Go‑to‑market structuring
Defined customer, partner, and channel strategies aligned with observed buying behavior and risk tolerance.
Key outcomes
- Enabled prioritization of target segments and go‑to‑market paths with clearer scalability and capital discipline.

Record RFS mandates strain biofuel supplies
The EPA’s recently finalized Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for 2026–2027 raise Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates to record levels, marking a step-change in required blending volumes. This shift increases demand across the system and leaves less buffer between required volumes and available supply, tightening overall market conditions. Key dynamics shaping supply requirements: These dynamics suggest […]
Oil & gas midstream: 2026 mid-year trends and supply chain impacts
The midstream sector in the first half of 2026 is moving at a breakneck pace, driven by a strategic pivot toward “wellhead-to-water” natural gas liquid (NGL) integration, severe high-horsepower compression supply-chain constraints, and a massive power-generation super-cycle spurred by AI data center expansion. Rather than relying on speculative mega-projects, major pipeline operators are maximizing fee-based […]
