Sumitomo Corp, one of Japan''s trading giants, has announced plans to significantly increase its battery energy storage capacity in Japan from the current 9MW to 500MW by March 2031. This initiative aims to mitigate fluctuations in renewable energies and improve the efficiency of the national energy system. Japan is also innovating to ...
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.
Shunsuke Kawashima, who works across Itochu’s BESS business at all scales including residential, commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale, opened the discussion by highlighting the drivers for energy storage adoption in Japan, of which he said there are two: increasing renewable energy generation and increasing demand for electricity.
One of the main reasons is the insufficient capacity of transmission lines. In response to this issue, Sumitomo Corporation aims to expand its business of storing energy nationwide in Japan by developing a large-scale energy storage platform that can compensate for this lack of transmission line capacity.
There is so far also only one ancillary services market for frequency response open to energy storage assets in Japan. Bennett said that is another area with high growth potential, while more projects with corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) are coming into the Japanese market, leading to more trading in the spot market.
As resource-poor Japan expands renewable energy to meet decarbonization goals and enhance energy security, battery usage is expected to rise to smooth out the intermittent supply of solar and wind energy. Sumitomo's battery storage initiative is part of the Japanese trading house's broader efforts to bolster its energy transformation business.
While preventing curtailment is a valuable potential use case for energy storage in Japan as renewable generation increases, developing solar PV projects in Japan can have much longer lead times than in other markets, said Joost van Acht, managing director of ib vogt.
