The Hirohara battery energy storage system (BESS) will be installed in Oaza Hirohara, Miyazaki City, and will be run under a 20-year offtake contract with utility Tokyo Gas Co Ltd (TYO:9531). Under its terms, Eku Energy will be the site’s owner and Tokyo Gas will hold the operating rights for 20 years.
Commenting on the market in Japan, Kentaro Ono, Eku Energy Japan’s managing director, said that the country offers favourable regulatory policy that is “creating business environments to incentivize battery storage development. Choose your newsletter by Renewables Now.
In related news, today, the Tokyo Metropolitan Municipal Government announced details of its own battery storage subsidy scheme, set to run from this year until 2030, with a budget of JPY13 billion (US$84 million) in total and open to entities with either head or branch offices registered in the nation’s capital.
Japan’s grid-scale battery storage market has been relatively slow to take off, with relatively limited revenue opportunities that focus largely on ancillary services, with some capability of earning money through the JEPX power exchange spot market. There are also some subsidy schemes in place.
“As Japan accelerates the development of renewable energy projects to meet its decarbonization goals, energy storage will have a crucial role to play in enhancing the reliability of the Japanese grid,” said Ryan Chua, Senior Managing Director at Stonepeak.
It is Eku Energy’s first project in Japan to reach financial close and will be located in Miyazaki City, the capital of Miyazaki Prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu. The 30MW asset will be 4-hour duration (120MWh), and a 20-year offtake agreement is in place with Tokyo Gas.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
