Upgrade of after-sales service in energy storage industry

Will the energy storage industry thrive in the next stage?

The energy storage industry is going through a critical period of transition from the early commercial stage to development on a large scale. Whether it can thrive in the next stage depends on its economics.

Why are energy storage technologies important?

They are also strategically important for international competition. KPMG China and the Electric Transportation & Energy Storage Association of the China Electricity Council (‘CEC’) released the New Energy Storage Technologies Empower Energy Transition report at the 2023 China International Energy Storage Conference.

What is the after sale maintenance framework?

The after sale maintenance framework thereby provides information on the return on investment of Industry 4.0 for machinery, through the after sale maintenance service, which is of particular interest for a firm’s business outlook (e.g., funds spent vs. funds generated).
