In Japan, the extension of subsidies to stand-alone battery storage facilities affirms the Japanese government's commitment to transition to renewable energy. It is expected that the introduction of stand-alone battery facilities will ease grid related issues and mitigate connection related risks faced by renewable energy projects.
Over a gigawatt of bids from battery storage project developers have been successful in the first-ever competitive auctions for low-carbon energy capacity held in Japan. A total 1.67GW of projects won contracts, including 32 battery energy storage system (BESS) totalling 1.1GW and three pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects totalling 577MW.
Battery assets are now allowed to trade energy in Japan’s wholesale markets and the first two projects to do so joined the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) spot market in mid-2023 through developer Pacifico Energy.
With Japan looking to double the renewable capacity on the grid in the next few years, as well as the Government’s desire to become a regional leader in grid management and balancing, investment in battery storage is booming. Market demands from industry and a renewed urgency to improve energy security are pushing the growth of renewables in Japan.

Energy storage projects will be eligible to take part in competitive capacity auctions for low-carbon power set to be launched this month by the Japanese government.
As has been widely covered by media including Energy-Storage.news, Japan’s battery storage market has been attracting investment over the past couple of years from domestic and international entities, albeit at a growth rate which might also be called ‘modest’ compared to some other national markets.
