Nippon Chikudenchi Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Shuichi Urushihara) announces that the grid-scale battery storage facility "NC Shirakawa Omotego Banzawa Battery Storage Power Station," constructed in Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, commenced power reception on April 28, 2026.
This facility is positioned as a regionally decentralized energy hub that absorbs and stabilizes fluctuations in renewable energy output, responding to JEPX (wholesale market), the supply-demand adjustment market, and the capacity market. Furthermore, it is equipped with a function as a disaster prevention hub to support local power supply during disasters, contributing to the improvement of regional resilience (disaster prevention capability).
[Facility Overview]
Facility Name: NC Shirakawa Omotego Banzawa Battery Storage Power Station
Location: Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture
Rated Output/Capacity: 1,988kW・8,146kWh
Battery System: TMEIC (Battery: CATL)
Start of Operation Date: April 28, 2026
Design/Construction Company: Suzuki Electric Co., Ltd.
With the widespread adoption of renewable energy, adjusting the balance of electricity supply and demand has become a crucial issue. Battery storage plays a central role in absorbing these fluctuations and supporting stable grid operation.
In this project, a CATL battery storage system and a TMEIC PCS (Power Conditioner) were adopted. This equipment configuration, combining high reliability and control performance, achieves stable operation in the supply-demand adjustment market, JEPX (wholesale market), and the capacity market.
Construction was handled by Suzuki Electric Co., Ltd., which carried out design and construction with consideration for local environmental preservation and safety.
[Future Developments]
Nippon Chikudenchi Co., Ltd. will promote grid-scale battery storage projects across Japan and strengthen cooperation with local communities, local governments, and companies, thereby contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society and the improvement of disaster response capabilities.
