NTT Anode Energy Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Teruyuki Kishimoto; hereinafter, NTT Anode Energy) has constructed the "Kagawa Kanonji Storage Power Station" (Ohnohara, Ohnohara-cho, Kanonji City, Kagawa Prefecture) and the "Fukuoka Moji Storage Power Station" (Moji-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture) and commenced commercial operation in March 2026.
Overview
To address the societal challenge of achieving carbon neutrality, the widespread adoption and effective utilization of renewable energy are indispensable. Simultaneously, stabilizing electricity supply and demand is also a crucial issue. Since the amount of electricity generated by renewable energy sources fluctuates depending on weather conditions, adjustment capabilities are required to maintain constant frequency and voltage in the power grid. Until now, thermal power plants have primarily fulfilled this role, but to accelerate decarbonization, an expansion of battery storage installations for adjustment purposes is expected in the future.
NTT Anode Energy commenced commercial operation of the Kagawa Kanonji and Fukuoka Moji storage power stations in March 2026. With the start of commercial operation at these two locations, NTT Anode Energy now has 10 self-developed and operated storage systems nationwide. Going forward, as an aggregator, the company will conduct optimal transactions in various electricity markets (wholesale electricity market, supply-demand adjustment market, capacity market), charge/discharge control, and centralized maintenance and monitoring of the storage power stations.
NTT Anode Energy will continue to contribute to the further widespread adoption of renewable energy and the realization of a sustainable society through the development, maintenance, and operation of storage power stations.
