Japan’s policy towards battery technology for energy storage systems is outlined in both Japan’s 2014 Strategic Energy Plan and the 2014 revision of the Japan Revitalization Strategy. In Japan’s Revitalization strategy, Japan has the stated goal to capture 50% of the global market for storage batteries by 2020. 2. The Energy Storage Sector a.
As policy, technology, and decarbonization goals converge, Japan is positioning energy storage as a critical link between its climate targets and energy reliability. Japan’s energy storage policy is anchored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which outlined its ambitions in the 6th Strategic Energy Plan, adopted in 2021.
Given the fundamental direction of Japan’s energy landscape, energy storage technology is set to play an integral part in Japan’s energy future due to energy storage technology’s role in both smart grid technology and in renewable energy’s integration into Japan’s energy landscape.
The plan also calls for the widespread promotion of energy efficient management systems (EMS) in Japan. At the national level, and in a long-term strategic sense, this context has given rise to the structural demand for energy storage infrastructure on Japan’s energy market.
Japan’s energy storage landscape is shifting, pushed by household demand, corporate ESG mandates, and domestic battery manufacturing. The residential lithium-ion market, projected to grow at a CAGR of 33.9% through 2030, remains one of the fastest-expanding segments.
The $593 million worth of commercial energy storage systems recorded in Japan in 2023 could balloon to $4.15 billion by 2030, InfoLink reckons, with “industrial adoption expected to scale faster,” according to the data company.
