Japan Begins Instituting Battery Energy Storage Projects

---

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) (Hokkaido, Japan) 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.

Industrial Info is tracking 11 active BESS projects in Japan, worth US$715 million. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can click here for detailed reports.
