安来蓄電所運転開始のお知らせ（菊川西村蓄電所）

RENOVA began operating its 2MW Yasugi battery storage station in Yasugi, Shimane Prefecture on April 17, 2026. The company has brought market operation functions in-house, handling bidding and charge/discharge dispatch itself, to build operational know-how for larger projects such as the 90MW-class Kikugawa (Nishimura) storage station.

  • Company: RENOVA, Inc. (HQ: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Yosuke Kiminami); press release dated April 20, 2026, 10:00
  • Yasugi Battery Storage Station, Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture; capacity 2MW; started operation April 17, 2026
  • Context: diverse players entering the domestic battery market amid renewable expansion; RENOVA sees cost competitiveness through scale as key
  • Four barriers to scaling storage: grid connection, procurement, operation, finance; this project focuses on establishing optimal battery operation strategy
  • RENOVA has internalized the "optimal operation function", directly handling power market bidding and charge/discharge dispatch
  • Know-how and data to support stable operation and profit maximization of large projects including the 90MW-class "Kikugawa Nishimura Storage Station" (also referred to as "Kikugawa Storage Station (90MW)", described as among the largest in Japan)
  • A key step toward the mid-term plan target of 0.9GW storage capacity by 2030
  • "Market sales type" model: earns revenue by providing balancing capability and supply capacity in markets such as the supply-demand balancing market and capacity market, without relying on government price guarantees (e.g. FIT) or long-term fixed-price contracts
  • Mission: build a green, self-sustaining energy system; contribute to grid stabilization and decarbonization
