6 FAQs about [Japan s energy storage power station construction and development project planning]

How many pumped storage power plants are there in Japan?

Pumped storage type power plants have been developed in Japan since 1930. Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. (TEPCO) has 9 pumped storage power plants with approximately 10,000 MW in total, including one under construction.

How big is Japan's energy storage capacity?

Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Japan had 1,671MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 10,074MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Japan, according to GlobalData’s power database.

How is Japan's energy storage landscape changing?

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.

How do storage systems work in Japan?

Storage systems like BESS help keep power systems stable, especially when more electricity comes from solar and wind sources. Other projects in Japan include a municipal BESS project in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. This small-scale system, with an installed capacity of 2 MW/4 MWh, is operated by a city-owned energy company.

Will pumped storage hydropower bring balance and stability to Japan's grid?

Pumped storage hydropower, a late 19th century technology that was largely ignored by the markets for decades, is now emerging as pivotal to bringing balance and stability to Japan’s grid as the nation both reboots nuclear energy and moves to rely more on solar and wind generation.

What is Japan's energy storage policy?

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.
