Japan will hand out more subsidies for electric-vehicle (EV) battery production, pledging as much as $2.4 billion in support for related projects by Toyota and other major companies, as it seeks to strengthen its battery supply chain.
The ramp up of battery storage projects in Japan continues apace, aided by growing subsidy avenues and rising volumes on various electricity markets, from spot to balancing to capacity.
The fact that some of Japan's most well-known brands internationally, such as Panasonic, and Toshiba, are heavily invested in the battery business is testament to the healthy position Japanese companies enjoy in this industry.
Japan has played a prominent role in the battery industry for decades, stepping up as one of the global innovators and leaders.
The project is being initiated by a consortium led by South Korea’s LG Group and Indonesia Battery Corp (IBC) — a holding company consisting of four state-owned enterprises: MIND ID, PT Pertamina, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara, and PT Aneka Tambang Tbk — in what will be an initial investment worth US$1.2 billion.
By 2030, official estimates show variable renewable energy reaching 20% of Japan’s power mix. Noting the demand case and ever-growing renewables curtailment numbers nationwide, more and more firms are tapping into Japan’s battery storage opportunities. We take a look at some of the prominent projects on the horizon.
