Developing market strategy and demonstration projects of ATES in Japan

IF Technology supported KEPCO introducing ATES in Japan. We started with education and training their staff and management. The three weeks workshop was partially held in Japan and in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we assisted them in defining the potential for ATES and the best way to enter the market. This led to the selection, design and realization of two full scale pilots in Tagasako and Osaka city.
