The Renova-Himeji Battery Energy Storage System is a 15,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Himeji, Hyogo, Japan. The rated storage capacity of the project is 48,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology. The project will be commissioned in 2025.
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.
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.
As Japan works to expand battery storage amid growing solar and wind capacity, METI also runs a similar subsidy scheme at the national level. In FY2024, it awarded 34.6 billion yen to 27 projects. Both programs are expected to continue in FY2025.
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.
Geographically, three of the projects will be built in Ibaraki Prefecture, two in Kanagawa, Chiba, and Tochigi each, and one in Tokyo, Saitama, and Gunma each. As Japan works to expand battery storage amid growing solar and wind capacity, METI also runs a similar subsidy scheme at the national level.
