Why are battery storage projects growing in Japan?
The ramp up of battery storage projects in Japan continues apace, aided by growing subsidy avenues and rising volumes on various electricity markets, from spot to balancing to capacity.
What are the policy settings for battery energy storage in Japan?
The policy settings in Japan support investment in Battery Energy Storage and are compatible with delivering safe, secure and reliable green energy in a cost-effective manner to energy consumers, which is our mission. Kentaro Ono, Eku Energy Japan’s Managing Director, said:
Who owns the battery storage facility in Japan?
Project financing has been arranged by MUFG Bank representing the first battery storage project they have arranged finance for in Japan. Under the offtake agreement, Eku Energy will own the BESS while Tokyo Gas will own 100% of its operating rights for 20 years, with Eku Energy responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the facility.
Are batteries commercialised in Japan?
batteries are commercialised. Japan imports about 90% of its primary energy requirements and is vulnerable to energy supply disruptions overseas. In recent years, new energy security factors have been studied.
When did Japan start funding lithium-ion batteries?
As an early technology leader, Japan began funding lithium-ion batteries, especially the development of solid-state batteries and certain types of alternative batteries. Total battery funding by NEDO between 2009–2022 (for Solid-EV and RISING 1, 2 and 3 projects) is estimated by ca. 58 billion yen.
What is the Hirohara battery energy storage system?
The Hirohara battery energy storage system is Eku Energy’s first project in Japan set to reach Financial Close and our latest global project that combines our global energy storage specialisation coupled with our deep local presence. We are pleased to be partnering with Tokyo Gas as offtaker as we together accelerate the energy transition.
