In 2015, we started Japan's first demonstration project covering energy storage connected to the power grid in the Koshikishima, Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima. This project is still operating in a stable manner today. One feature of our grid energy storage system is that it utilizes reused batteries from EVs.
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Japan had 1,671MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 10,074MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Japan, according to GlobalData’s power database.
The Renova-Himeji Battery Energy Storage System is a 15,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Himeji, Hyogo, Japan. The rated storage capacity of the project is 48,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology. The project will be commissioned in 2025.
Another Japanese company, Nippon Koei, is carrying out engineering consulting services and Nippon Koei has experience on battery storage projects overseas in markets including the UK and continental Europe.
Sumitomo aims to install 500 megawatts or more of battery storage in Japan by March 2031, from 9 MW now, to help mitigate renewable energy fluctuations and improve the efficiency of the energy system, a company official said.
The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology. The project will be commissioned in 2025.
