Technical FAQs 4

When will Itochu launch its first energy storage station?

Going forward, the plan is to launch the first energy storage station around fiscal 2025, and then proceed with the development and operation of energy storage stations one after another. ITOCHU has developed a product lineup that meets market needs, from home storage batteries to large-scale energy storage systems for industrial and grid use.

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.

Does Japan need battery energy storage?

A Growing Need for Energy Storage The increasing generation of renewables on the Japanese grid has led to various support policies and CAPEX subsidy schemes to support the deployment of grid-scale Battery Energy Storage (BESS).

What are the requirements for a battery project in Tokyo?

These are the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo prefectural subsidies. There are a series of requirements to be eligible: projects must have a minimum capacity of 1 MW, the battery must be able to participate in various markets, and the battery must be directly connected to the grid.
