Go-IBR.com Research Paper Reveals Multi-Billion Dollar Market Opportunity for NERC Compliance Software and Services in North America
New Research Estimates the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for NERC Compliance Solutions to Be Between $1.3 Billion and $1.7 Billion Annually
June 2025 — North America — Go-IBR.com, a leading provider of industry research for the energy sector, today released its highly anticipated research paper titled “Sizing the Opportunity: The Market for NERC Compliance Software and Services in North America”.
The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the growing market for compliance solutions driven by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards. The report estimates the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for NERC compliance software and services in North America at $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion annually, underscoring the urgency for utilities, product companies, and investors to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements.
As NERC’s influence continues to expand—especially with the recent addition of inverter-based resources (IBRs) into the compliance framework—the demand for specialized software platforms and consulting services is surging. This shift is expected to open significant market opportunities for companies providing automated compliance solutions, audit-readiness tools, and cybersecurity services.
Principal Analyst’s Key Insights
According to Fas Mosleh, Principal Analyst at Go-IBR.com, “The NERC compliance market is at a critical inflection point. With utilities facing increasing regulatory pressure, especially around CIP-006 and CIP-013 standards, the industry is poised for significant investment in compliance automation and cybersecurity solutions. The inclusion of IBRs in the regulatory framework is expanding the addressable market, as smaller utilities and distributed energy resources require scalable, affordable solutions.”
Market Dynamics and Growth Drivers
The report highlights key drivers of this market’s expansion, including:
- Increased cybersecurity mandates such as CIP-005 (cybersecurity) and CIP-013 (supply chain risk management)
- The registration of IBRs, pushing smaller, decentralized energy operators into the compliance ecosystem
- A growing focus on automated audit readiness and the increasing use of SaaS platforms to ensure real-time compliance tracking
Expanding Market Potential
As regulatory scrutiny increases and the energy grid evolves to accommodate more renewables, storage solutions, and distributed generation, the research paper forecasts a 8%–8.5% annual growth rate (CAGR) for the NERC compliance market through 2030. This growth is driven by factors such as aging infrastructure, new compliance requirements, and rising penalties for noncompliance.
