Japan is considering stepping up purchases of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for emergency needs to at least 12 cargoes a year from three now, an official of its industry ministry said, to guard
In the first quarter of 2021, LNG prices rose to unprecedented highs due to tight supply. From the third quarter of 2021 to the last quarter of 2022, Japan''s electricity prices once again hit a record high.
Japan''s Sixth Strategic Energy Plan, approved by the Cabinet in October 2021, lays out a path for achieving carbon neutrality in 2050 and the earlier goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
To support these goals, the country will require approximately 10GW of energy storage capacity by the end of the decade. While the Japanese BESS market has been slower to develop compared to more mature markets like the UK, US, China, and South Korea, recent policy and regulatory changes have created new opportunities.
The energy landscape in Japan is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets and the need to reduce emissions. As a result, the battery energy storage system (BESS) market in Japan is poised for substantial growth.
As policy, technology, and decarbonization goals converge, Japan is positioning energy storage as a critical link between its climate targets and energy reliability. Japan’s energy storage policy is anchored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which outlined its ambitions in the 6th Strategic Energy Plan, adopted in 2021.
At present, revenue streams for battery storage in Japan are relatively limited but are gradually expanding. Energy arbitrage, which involves charging batteries during periods of low electricity prices and discharging during peak demand, has been a key revenue source.
The Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) is one of the most mature wholesale energy markets in the Asia-Pacific region, operating since 2005. More than 40% of the country’s total electricity demand is met through the spot market, which sets electricity prices at different times throughout the day to incentivize low-cost usage.
In addition, Japan’s capacity market is currently limited to battery storage systems lasting 3 hours, and the uncertainty of its overall revenue stack may make investors cautious about purchasing large-scale battery storage systems.
