t new-build renewable power plants in Japan include an energy storage component. The two largest solar PV power plants in Hokkaido, commis oned in July and October 2020, respectively, both include lithium ion batteries. One plant has generating capacity of 64.6MWp and battery output of 19.0MWh,
In terms of energy storage technology, Japan is supported primarily by pumped hydro and by NaS and Li-ion battery storage capability, according to the US Department of Energy.88 While Japan is the world leader in Nas battery energy storage technology, it is also the world’s second manufacturer of Pb-Acid energy storage systems.
The plan also calls for the widespread promotion of energy efficient management systems (EMS) in Japan. At the national level, and in a long-term strategic sense, this context has given rise to the structural demand for energy storage infrastructure on Japan’s energy market.
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 interactive map includes GPS coordinates for Japan’s primary energy storage sites, as well as capacity, launch year, primary operator/owner, and a brief description of the site. One immediately apparent trend demonstrated by the interactive map is the distribution of Japan’s energy storage sites.
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.
