[Practical Knowledge Gained from the Seminar]

[Seminar Overview]

The domestic installation outlook for grid-connected battery storage systems by fiscal year 2030 is 14.1 to 23.8 GWh according to the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, indicating extremely strong interest in market entry. On the other hand, contract applications as of the end of September 2025 have surged 3.9 times year-on-year to approximately 24 million kW, and discussions on traffic control measures such as institutional upper limits are becoming more serious.

For projects that have already commenced operation, discussions on appropriate revenue levels spanning the wholesale, supply-demand adjustment, and capacity markets are ongoing, and challenges "after construction" are also becoming apparent.

This lecture will provide an in-depth explanation, centered on the affinity with renewable energy, based on the practical experience of our company, which handles both renewable energy and battery storage businesses. It will cover the structure of the domestic market, types of business models, the timeline and challenges of actual operations, and future prospects derived from the leading cases of Australia's NEM and the UK's BM.
