Japan Begins Instituting Battery Energy Storage Projects

KOFU, JAPAN--September 19, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--While other countries have been quick to add battery energy storage systems (BESS) to renewable energy plants, Japan has been reluctant.

But now, companies such as Hokkaido Electric Power Company (HEPCO) are realizing the value of the constant energy that BESS can provide. After an earthquake in 2018, Hokkaido had a blackout, which could have been palliated by battery storage.
