Eneres Seeks Companies to Participate in Capacity Market for Variable Power Sources (Aggregated) in FY2030

Eneres Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Goro Suzuki; hereinafter "Eneres") is now recruiting businesses to participate in the Capacity Market for variable power sources, with supply for Fiscal Year 2030. Participation will be facilitated through our aggregation services. The power sources sought are non-FIT and non-FIP solar and wind power generation facilities. The application deadline for Eneres is July 21, 2026.

The Capacity Market is a system designed to efficiently secure the total supply capacity for Japan in the future. It allows various power producers and others to participate in the market to trade supply capacity (kW) four years in advance. Businesses that are successful in the Capacity Market auction will receive "Capacity Reservation Contract Payments," which are compensation for providing supply capacity.

Power sources that can be registered in the Capacity Market are categorized into "Stable Power Sources," "Variable Power Sources (Standalone)," "Variable Power Sources (Aggregated)," and "Dispatchable Power Sources." Requirements are set based on expected capacity, power source type, and other factors. "Variable Power Sources (Aggregated)" target natural variable power sources using solar, wind, and some self-dispatch hydropower, with an expected capacity of less than 1,000 kW. By bundling these with other power sources through an aggregator (a specified wholesale supplier), they can participate as variable power sources with a capacity of 1,000 kW or more.

Expected capacity refers to the portion of installed capacity that can be anticipated as supply capacity. It is calculated by multiplying the installed capacity by an adjustment factor published annually [1].

Eneres has been engaged in aggregation to contribute to a stable electricity supply since FY2017 and was registered as the first aggregator in FY2022. The company has a track record of supplying electricity generated from controlling electric vehicles (EVs) for the frequency regulation market, the predecessor to the Capacity Market, for the first time in Japan [2] [3].

Eneres will provide comprehensive support for all procedures necessary for participating businesses to bid in the Capacity Market. Furthermore, we can offer this service in combination with our renewable energy aggregation services [4], including generation output forecasting.

Eneres is committed to contributing to the realization of a society powered primarily by renewable energy while ensuring a stable electricity supply, creating a new relationship between people and energy, and realizing an affluent future society.
