1. Operations begin at the first base of grid-scale battery storage stations essential for the spread of renewable energy
Recently, with the progress of DX and the shift from fossil fuels to electricity, electricity demand is constantly increasing, and the government has set a goal to raise the ratio of renewable energy to 40% or more by 2040. To ensure a stable supply of renewable energy, which is highly susceptible to the natural cycle and has fluctuations in power generation, the spread of grid-scale battery storage stations that respond to output fluctuations and adjust the supply and demand balance of electricity is indispensable.
ADW has been working on the development of grid-scale battery storage stations since 2025. "ADW Mie Matsusaka City Battery Storage Station," the first base completed in January this year, has now completed trial runs and grid connection (*), and has started operations.
First, we will start operation in the JEPX wholesale market, and after a certain monitoring period, we plan to enter the supply and demand adjustment market.
