Power x Corporation (Headquarters: Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, Director, President & CEO: Masahiro Ito, Securities Code: 485A) will co-host a seminar with Nikkei BP Research Institute on April 21, 2026 (Tuesday), focusing on the theme of achieving long-term stable revenue in the battery business.
In the supply and demand adjustment market, rules are changing rapidly, including reductions in the upper price limit, leading to a trend where "grid-connected battery businesses are a race to be the first." However, with the increasing adoption of renewable energy, the real era for the battery business is just beginning.
This seminar will provide a concrete explanation of how to utilize batteries for long-term stable revenue sources without relying on subsidies, and will also delve into the business environment, including medium- to long-term outlooks for the supply and demand adjustment market and policy directions.
