Japan Solar Update: No.166 (Sept 15 ~ 19, 2025)\u00a0<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n
\"Itochu<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ITOCHU Corporation has announced that it will collaborate with KYUDENKO on a Feed-in Premium (FIP) conversion project of PV power plants in the form of additionally installing largescale storage batteries at these PV power plants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Changing Business Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Revision of priority dispatch rules:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • FIT plants curtailed before FIP plants<\/li>\n
  • Support schemes established for battery co-location<\/li>\n
  • Procurement shortages in the balancing market remain a challenge, increasing the importance of battery-based adjustment functions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \n

    Business Model<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"Itochu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Under this partnership, ITOCHU will procure storage batteries, inverters, energy management systems (EMS), and other equipment required to establish the storage systems. The company will also manage operation and maintenance.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    KYUDENKO, on the other hand, will be responsible for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC).\u00a0<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    First Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As the first phase, ITOCHU and KYUDENKO have signed an EPC contract to install a storage battery system with an output capacity of 12 MW and a storage capacity of 49.356 MWh at the Saga Ouchi PV Power Plant, a joint investment project.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Saga Ouchi Solar Power Plant, operated by Saga Ouchi Solar Co. (jointly funded by ITOCHU and Kyudenko), decided to convert to FIP. EPC contract with Kyudenko for co-located battery storage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Sega Ouchi Solar Power Plant <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Output: 16.5 MW<\/p>\n

    Operation Start: Aug 2018<\/p>\n

    Certification: Mar 2014<\/p>\n

    Battery System\u00a0 \u00a0Rated output: 12MW\u00a0 \u00a0Capacity: 49.3567MWh<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \n

    This upgrade will allow the plant to participate in the FIP program, marking an important step in integrating storage solutions into Japan\u2019s solar energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
