Notice of Start of Operation of Yasugi Battery Storage Station

安来蓄電所運転開始のお知らせ

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 large projects such as its 90MW Kikugawa station. The project is a step toward its mid-term target of 0.9GW of storage capacity by 2030.

  • RENOVA Inc. (HQ: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO Yosuke Kinami) announced on April 20, 2026 that the Yasugi battery storage station (Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture; capacity 2MW) started operation on April 17, 2026.
  • Subtitle: market-operation functions brought in-house, building an operational-knowledge base for large projects.
  • Context: many players entering Japan's battery market amid renewables 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 operation strategy.
  • RENOVA internalizes the "optimal operation function," directly handling bidding in power markets and charge/discharge commands.
  • Knowledge and data will support large projects including the 90MW-class "Kikugawa Nishimura" station; "merchant-type" (*1) operational know-how will be rolled out to the "Kikugawa station (90MW)," described as among Japan's largest, under development.
  • Step toward mid-term plan goal of 0.9GW storage capacity by 2030.
  • *1 Merchant-type: earning revenue by providing balancing capacity/supply capacity in markets such as the balancing market (需給調整市場) and capacity market (容量市場), without FIT price guarantees or long-term fixed-price contracts.
  • Mission: build green and self-sustaining energy systems; contribute to grid stability and decarbonization.
