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.

What energy storage technology does Japan use?

In terms of energy storage technology, Japan is supported primarily by pumped hydro and by NaS and Li-ion battery storage capability, according to the US Department of Energy.88 While Japan is the world leader in Nas battery energy storage technology, it is also the world’s second manufacturer of Pb-Acid energy storage systems.

Does Japan need energy storage?

Also highly-relevant in shaping structural demand for energy storage Japan’s post-Fukushima energy market landscape, has been the rise of Japan’s Smart City plans. In principle, the smart city concept also needs energy storage in order to help regulate energy demand management systems.

What incentives are there for energy storage in Japan?

Compounding these incentives in the immediate term, is Japan’s extensive public funding and support for energy storage research, as well as extensive subsidies for energy storage at both residential and utility scale. Japan’s total battery storage capacity is considerably smaller than its overall pumped hydro energy storage capacity.

What is Japan's energy storage landscape?

Japan’s energy storage landscape is widely distributed across the whole of Japan, geographically-speaking. Furthermore, Japan’s energy-storage landscape is characterized by its connection with Japan’s smart-grid and smart city landscape. a. Interactive Map of Japan’s Energy Storage Landscape

What is Japan's energy landscape?

According to the US Department of Energy’s 2013 report on Grid Energy Storage, Japan’s energy landscape is characterized by the large-scale adoption of renewable power generation resources, of intermittent energy generation63. 63 US Department of Energy (2013), “Grid Energy Storage”, Working Paper, Washington DC.
