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.
The ramp up of battery storage projects in Japan continues apace, aided by growing subsidy avenues and rising volumes on various electricity markets, from spot to balancing to capacity.
Taiwanese analyst InfoLink Consulting has said Japan could unlock a battery boom if it resolve a regulatory ambiguity, overcome urban density issues, and harmonize a national grid which operates on different frequencies in two halves of the nation.
Other projects in Japan include a municipal BESS project in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. This small-scale system, with an installed capacity of 2 MW/4 MWh, is operated by a city-owned energy company. It is used to stabilize power from local solar panels and support community resilience.
