Recently, during the 12th Energy Storage International Summit and Exhibition of ESIE 2024, Schneider Electric, a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, signed a strategic agreement with Jiangsu Ashit Energy Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Ashit Energy”). The two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the joint plan of energy storage system, distributed energy storage construction and operation and maintenance management, and market promotion, so as to promote the development of new energy storage and improve the quality and accelerate the construction of new power systems. Xiong Yi, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric and Head of Strategy and Business Development in China, and Shi Facheng, General manager of Ashit Energy, signed the agreement on behalf of both parties.

DDC779CE102 As a high-quality flexible adjustment resource in the power grid, energy storage is an important technology to achieve a high proportion of new energy grid connection and consumption. This year’s “Government Work Report” clearly proposes to promote the development and utilization of distributed energy, improve the acceptance, configuration and regulation capacity of the grid for clean energy, and for the first time, write “development of new energy storage” into the report, and press the “accelerator” for the development of the new energy storage industry. At the same time, with the acceleration of the construction of new power systems, the large-scale development of the energy storage industry will also inject surging momentum into China’s economic development.

As a builder and enabler of new power systems, Schneider Electric has application solutions covering all aspects and scenarios of “source network load and storage”, and has accumulated rich experience in energy management and digital technology application. Adhering to the concept of “making green energy more reliable, making life better in the future”, ASit Energy is committed to providing leading innovative technologies and solutions for energy storage systems in the global energy storage market. In this signing, the two sides will integrate and deeply build their advantages in technology, products, services, markets and resources, create a joint plan for high-quality energy storage systems, and actively promote the deep integration and development of new energy storage and power system. In addition, Schneider Electric will give full play to its hardware and software solutions and service capabilities in the field of intelligent power distribution, and explore innovative applications in the field of distributed energy operation and maintenance management together with Astit Energy, enabling the industry to accelerate its upgrading.

For the cooperation, Shi Facheng, general manager of Asit Energy, said: “As a strategic emerging industry in the national layout, since the ’14th Five-Year Plan’, the new energy storage installation has directly promoted the increase of economic investment by more than 100 billion, not only bringing new momentum to China’s economic development, but also effectively promoting the construction of a new power system.” Astor Energy has cutting-edge innovative technologies and rich project experience in the field of energy storage, and this successful cooperation with Schneider Electric will further strengthen our technological advantages, thus setting a model for the large-scale development of China’s energy storage industry and technology research, and jointly help the realization of the ‘dual carbon’ vision.”

DDC779CE102 Xiong Yi, senior vice President, Strategy and Business Development China head of Schneider Electric, said: “In the context of the ‘dual carbon’ goal, the development of new energy storage supported by scientific and technological innovation is an important part of stimulating new quality productivity in the energy field, building a new power system and building a new energy system. Schneider Electric is accelerating the energy transition in China by introducing innovative products and digital solutions. This collaboration with Asit Energy is another successful practice in our efforts to boost the construction of new power systems and accelerate the digital transformation of energy management. In the future, we also look forward to deepening cooperation with industry leaders like Asit Energy in more areas, promoting ‘high-quality development’ with ‘new quality cooperation’ and providing sufficient source of power for sustainable and high-quality development.”
