Tokyo Gas is also participating in the Japanese utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) market, signing a 20-year tolling offtake deal with Australian developer Eku Energy for a forthcoming 30MW/120MWh project.
The “Storage Battery Industry Strategy” document from METI sets out three key targets: Boost Domestic Manufacturing: Japan aims to ramp up its domestic production of automotive storage batteries to 100 GWh by 2030, with a long-term goal of reaching 150 GWh annually. This move highlights the potential for foreign companies to invest in Japan.
In the commercial space, Japan’s battery storage market was valued at USD 593.2 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 4.15 billion by 2030. While commercial installations currently dominate revenues, industrial adoption is expected to scale faster. Utility-scale storage is also gaining ground.
Energy Security: Storage batteries are key to stabilizing Japan’s energy system. Given Japan’s limited natural resources and dependence on imports, combined with its vulnerability to natural disasters, investing in reliable and sustainable energy solutions is critical.
Another Tokyo-headquartered utility, Tokyo Gas, also began a similar programme with residential batteries. The company markets and installs battery storage systems to households, and also has a new solutions service, branded Igniture, which controls the charging and discharging to participate in power supply-demand balancing.
Tokyo Gas opened its Battery Control Service programme to customer enrolment on 26 August, offering an upfront fee of ¥10,000 (US$70) for joining and ¥200 per month thereafter.
