The Japanese government announced in October 2020 that Japan planned to become carbon neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, government authorities have implemented various measures to encourage home users to adopt new energy sources, in addition to offering an aggressive subsidy policy for households that implement zero-energy house retrofits.
In a recent Energy-Storage.news Premium interview, Franck Bernard, the energy storage head of developer Gurin Energy said that the Japanese BESS market is ready for scale-up, with the company planning to begin building a 500MW/2,000MWh project in the country in 2026.

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.
Considering the growing concerns regarding severe weather conditions due to climate change, other directions of possible research could involve investigating the impact of ESS on a home''s energy resilience [44] or looking into the effect of home energy storage when a household leaves a grid network (i.e. off-grid) in a region with extremely low
This is due to the island offering plenty of land for large-scale renewables, but lacking grid capacity and relatively little interconnection with the rest of Japan, leading its regional power company Hokkaido Electric, to stipulate that all new renewable energy facilities must be paired with a certain amount of energy storage.
