Can EKU energy commercialise large-scale batteries in Japan?
For Eku Energy, the LTDA is important to the business model of its Japanese projects but the developer, perhaps best known for projects in the UK and Australia, sees three pathways to commercialisation for large-scale batteries in Japan. The company secured a 20-year tolling agreement for its first Japan project, the 30MW/120MWh Hirohara BESS.
Why do we need energy storage systems?
Notably, the increasing need for ESS to address peak demand periods is a significant driver, ensuring a reliable power supply during high load periods. Additionally, the surge in electric vehicle (EV) development is boosting the demand for energy storage systems within the automotive industry, presenting positive prospects for the market.
Are energy storage systems a good investment?
Energy storage systems act as a form of insurance during power outages, mitigating potential losses and reducing downtime. Furthermore, they have the potential to lower electricity demand, enhance overall efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Can energy storage be a key link between climate and Energy Reliability?
Projects led by Hitachi Energy and JAPEX are already deploying batteries for grid stability and renewable integration. As policy, technology, and decarbonization goals converge, Japan is positioning energy storage as a critical link between its climate targets and energy reliability.
