Acrel Co.Ltd(300286) (300286)
With smart meter business as the core, comprehensively transform and focus on enterprise microgrid energy efficiency management. Founded in 2003, the company was positioned in the field of power automation in its early years, specializing in the R & D, production and sales of user-side intelligent power instruments. In 2016, the company changed from selling power instrument modules and other hardware products to providing customers with power consumption side management system, and transformed into an enterprise power consumption data service provider. At present, the company provides energy efficiency management and power safety solutions for enterprise microgrid, and has been equipped with 14000 + enterprise energy efficiency management system. In the first three quarters of 2021, the company's total operating revenue was 740 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 41.2% and a gross profit margin of 46.01%.
The goal of "double carbon" was promoted, and the demand for enterprise energy efficiency management continued to increase. The "double carbon" work opinions were issued, which clearly pointed out the path and measures of "accelerating the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system". The central economic work conference made it clear that the new renewable energy and raw material energy consumption will not be included in the total energy control, which is expected to further improve the enterprise's energy efficiency management needs: 1. Under the further improvement of the "double carbon" goal and the dual control policy of energy consumption, The burden of enterprise energy efficiency management has further increased, and the demand for energy efficiency management has further increased. 2) The rapid development of distributed new energy promotes the construction of enterprise microgrid with the unified management idea of "source network load storage", and raises the long-term demand of enterprise energy efficiency management. Enterprise microgrid puts forward higher requirements for the coordination and flexibility of power system. Energy efficiency management system will gradually become a necessity for enterprises to comprehensively manage microgrid. 3) The construction demand of government end energy consumption monitoring system continues to increase. As an important part of energy efficiency management system, user side intelligent power monitoring products will continue to develop towards digitization, multi-functional integration and networking.
The company has outstanding system solution ability to meet the diversified and personalized needs of the user side. 1) The company has a relatively complete product ecosystem, which can provide one-stop services from cloud platform software to terminal components, forming a "cloud edge end" energy Internet ecosystem. Customer customization demand is high, but the company has formed software modularization and hardware modularization, and flexible production has significantly reduced cost and increased efficiency. 2) Direct sales and distribution force, Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) coverage, and actively explore overseas markets. 3) Pay attention to talent introduction, continuously improve the number of R & D personnel, greatly increase research investment, learn from the excellent experience of Tencent Huawei, establish a product manager system and improve management efficiency.
