Japan: Large-scale battery storage opportunities in an
Japan''s energy storage market is experiencing a wave of significant growth, as ESN Premium hears from Eku Energy and BloombergNEF. In the past few months, Energy
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.
Battery storage accounted for 22% of the awarded capacity in the latest round of Japan's LTDA, up by around 25% on the first auction. Three big nuclear plants claimed around half the awarded capacity. In total, 1.4 GW of BESS was allocated, with 27 projects awarded contracts as part of the capacity market.
Stonepeak and CHC's energy storage platform will develop five new battery storage projects in Japan. These projects have a combined capacity of 348 megawatts (MW). The deals were finalized under Japan's Long-term Decarbonization Auction. These projects were selected as part of Japan's latest long-term auction focused on low-carbon energy.
Once operational, the battery storage systems will help balance supply and demand on the national power grid. Battery storage is viewed as an important part of Japan's decarbonization plans. Storage systems like BESS help keep power systems stable, especially when more electricity comes from solar and wind sources.
The “Storage Battery Industry Strategy” document from METI sets out three key targets: Boost Domestic Manufacturing: Japan aims to ramp up its domestic production of automotive storage batteries to 100 GWh by 2030, with a long-term goal of reaching 150 GWh annually. This move highlights the potential for foreign companies to invest in Japan.
Battery energy storage projects in Japan have been selected through the Long-Term Decarbonisation Power Source Auction for 2024.
