With renewable energy accounting for 38% of the national grid (up from 22% in 2020), the island nation faces mounting pressure to stabilize its power supply. But how exactly does energy storage fit into this puzzle?
Here, we will delve into our path taken to launch a completely new business and start operation of the first large-scale energy storage facility in Japan in 2024, as well as the challenges and future prospects on the front line.
On 18 February 2025, the Japanese government approved the 7th Strategic Energy Plan (the "Plan"), setting an updated course for Japan''s future energy policy with a primary focus on achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The U.S. company will collaborate with Japanese power retailer and aggregator Global Engineering and engineering firm Ene-Vision to build the energy storage facility connected to the grid with 6,095 kilowatts
Osaka, Japan — Kansai Electric Power Co., Kinden Corporation, and Japan Excellent Infrastructure (JEXI) have announced plans to build one of Japan''s largest grid-connected battery storage
Japanese financial services group Orix is set to build one of the country''s largest power storage facilities, partnering with Tesla Inc. for the supply of industrial-scale batteries.
According to Japan''s 6th Strategic Energy Plan, battery storage will be increased as a distributed source of electricity closer to end users and within microgrids. This new policy calls for an increase in
Despite strong policy signals, Japan''s energy storage rollout faces deep structural headwinds. The nation''s split-grid architecture—50 Hz in the east and 60 Hz in the west—limits electricity transfer and
Since the previous revision of the Strategic Energy Plan, the energy situation surrounding Japan has changed significantly as described below. In developing and implementing energy policy, it is necessary to fully
With its updated energy storage policy, Japan aims to achieve 45% renewable electricity by 2030 while solving the ultimate puzzle: how to store sunshine and wind like canned tuna.
