Can EV batteries be reused in Japan?
One feature of our grid energy storage system is that it utilizes reused batteries from EVs. Although the penetration rate of EVs in Japan is still only about 1%, the Japanese government aims for 100% of all new passenger car sales to be EVs by 2035. This, at the same time, means that more batteries will be discarded.
How big is Japan's energy storage capacity?
The installed capacity of large-scale energy storage in Japan is expected to increase from approximately 4GW/10GWh in 2022 to about 10 GW/27GWh in 2030. Construction of Hirohara BESS is scheduled to begin in fall 2024, with commercial operations expected to commence in 2026.
What drives energy storage adoption in Japan?
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.
What is Japan's first energy storage project?
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.
What's going on with a 30mw/120mwh battery energy storage system?
In April the company announced its first project in Japan to build a 30MW/120MWh battery energy storage system in Miyazaki City on the southern island of Kyushu. At the time the firm said they had agreed a 20-year offtake agreement for the project with Tokyo Gas.
Is solar PV a viable use case for energy storage in Japan?
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.
