- Create a Causal Loop Diagram that illustrates the causal relationships within the renewable energy maintenance sector. The lack of cost-effective maintenance services leads to decreased system performance, which can result in increased maintenance costs and decreased energy production. These factors can ultimately lead to reduced profitability for the renewable energy plant owners and investors. Additionally, limited availability and inconsistent quality of services can contribute to safety risks and can negatively impact the public perception of renewable energy as a reliable and sustainable source of power.
