Increasing energy efficiency is not only gaining the performance or service equally with less power consumption but also improving energy security, creating jobs and saving money. Moreover, smart grid optimizes energy efficiency between demand and supply, including producers, operators and consumers, by integrating electricity and IT infrastructure. In smart grid, the uninterruptible power supply becomes a major player with the performance of high efficiency of energy conversion and good power quality. Competing against competitors, S company is to consolidate the leading position by revealing innovative products and qualified services fulfilling customer requirements. The global economy is uncertain and customers’ behaviors keep changing; competition advantage of S company is not maintaining stable. With SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats), five force models and transient competitive advantage analysis methods, we present a case study for one UPS supplier, S company. The recommended actions to strategic development as follows: 1. Re-focusing on competition of core businesses: to fulfill customer expectation on new energy demand from creative and re-allocated products. 2. Providing high value of service quality: to recognize to do list from customer experiences for creating more values for customers. 3.
