Gore Street Capital's Japanese fund buys its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project, while Ireland's GridBeyond begins energy trading in Japan with front-of-the-meter asset.
The BESS will more than double Japan’s utility-scale lithium-ion battery capacity, and increase national energy storage capacity in megawatt hours by 220%. To be developed at a cost of 91 billion yen (USD 600 million) over a six-year period, construction on the BESS is expected to begin in 2026.
The planned project is a 500-megawatt (MW) capacity, four-hour BESS that will be able to store up to 2 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity, or enough electricity to charge 50,000 electric vehicles.
