Suminori Arima, chief investment officer at Gore Street Capital, said: “We are highly experienced in entering new markets as a first mover to help establish energy storage as crucial technology of the energy transition. The market conditions in Japan are poised to offer significant opportunities for those willing to take them.
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.
Shunsuke Kawashima, who works across Itochu’s BESS business at all scales including residential, commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale, opened the discussion by highlighting the drivers for energy storage adoption in Japan, of which he said there are two: increasing renewable energy generation and increasing demand for electricity.
There is so far also only one ancillary services market for frequency response open to energy storage assets in Japan. Bennett said that is another area with high growth potential, while more projects with corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) are coming into the Japanese market, leading to more trading in the spot market.
Additional funding will be raised from the private sector, including from ITOCHU. The fund will be targeted at projects in the Kanto region of Japan. TMG intends for the energy storage assets to support its efforts to expand renewable electricity usage to 50% by 2030.
While preventing curtailment is a valuable potential use case for energy storage in Japan as renewable generation increases, developing solar PV projects in Japan can have much longer lead times than in other markets, said Joost van Acht, managing director of ib vogt.
