Trigger
There is a growing global trend to reduce costs of distributed energy resources (DER) and raise environmental awareness. Power and gas system reforms are changing the competitive environment of the energy industry. This is producing dynamic movement such as market trading, entry into the comprehensive energy business segment, the appearance of new power companies, and the reorganization of existing power companies.
Furthermore, renewable energy cost reductions and advances in storage battery technologies are enabling major paradigm shifts, from energy being provided primarily through large-scale power generation to a distributed power approach, and even on to renewable energy becoming a primary source of power. At the same time, the trend of digitalization, which is occurring in every industry, is continuing, requiring companies to take approaches that are unconstrained by convention.
