Introduction

Grid Synapse Co., Ltd., located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to revolutionize the landscape of asset management services for grid-connected storage facilities. Commencing on September 1, 2026, the firm will deliver comprehensive Asset Management (AM) services, that are designed to streamline operations from project introductions to operations and maintenance (O&M).

What the Service Entails

The new AM service will cater specifically to high-voltage and extra-high-voltage grid-connected storage facilities. The service aims to connect all phases into a single contact point, incorporating help with project information organization, due diligence (DD), project management (PM), and post-commissioning asset management. Importantly, the contracts for purchasing or transferring assets are directly negotiated between buyers and sellers, maintaining Grid Synapse's neutrality regarding the transaction finances.

Key Selling Points

• - Support for High-Voltage and Extra-High-Voltage Projects: The service can manage both development rights transfers and completed sales across various projects.
• - Comprehensive Owner Support: From pre-acquisition PM to O&M and AM following commissioning, the focus is on providing consistent support to owners.
• - Collaboration with Experts: The service includes coordination with chief electrical engineers and market operation entities (aggregators) for extra-high-voltage projects, ensuring smooth operations post-acquisition.

Understanding the Initiative

It is crucial to recognize that acquiring a grid-connected storage facility alone doesn't establish its worth. Several factors, including land acquisition, grid connection, permits, construction, equipment warranty, and operational systems, must align for the project to kick off as planned and maintain stable operations. When different entities handle project introductions and subsequent construction and operations, critical information may not transfer efficiently, resulting in project delays or additional adjustments.

Grid Synapse aims to integrate insights gained from O&M practices to ensure a comprehensive vision — not just closing a deal but facilitating successful commissioning and ongoing stable operation.

Grid Synapse's Unique Advantages

One significant advantage lies in the company’s ability to view projects from the owner's perspective. This involves identifying issues before acquisition and effectively communicating them through PM, ensuring continuity of information and accountability throughout the O&M and AM processes. The service covers both high-voltage and extra-high-voltage facilities, coordinating with EPC contractors, equipment manufacturers, electricity firms, electrical engineers, and market operators all through one contact point.

Service Overview

1. Project Introduction: Information is organized from sellers and developers, aligning with buyer preferences in areas, voltage classifications, output and capacity, start dates, and investment strategies to facilitate introductions.
2. Pre-Acquisition Confirmation (DD) & PM: The service will confirm essential technical and operational aspects before acquisition, and support high-voltage and extra-high-voltage projects from construction to commissioning.
3. O&M & AM: After commissioning, ongoing support includes remote monitoring, alert response, local maintenance, and management of warranties and spare parts, ensuring collaboration with chief electrical engineers and market operators for stable operations and enhanced asset value.

Scope of Operations at Service Launch

Initially, Grid Synapse will support high-voltage and extra-high-voltage completed sales projects across multiple areas, including ongoing ones. The combined estimated scale for completed sale projects and development rights transfer is approximately 350 MW, with completed sale project battery storage capacities reaching about 200 MWh. Detailed project specifics, including locations, grid connection data, land conditions, equipment specifications, pricing, and transaction terms, will be disclosed post-NDA execution.

A Word from the CEO

“In grid-connected storage facilities, it’s crucial not to separate asset acquisition from long-term operation. From our standpoint of participating in O&M and AM, we ensure pre-acquisition checks and project management remain connected to operational responsibilities post-commissioning, alleviating operational burdens for owners and contributing to maintaining and enhancing their asset value,” stated CEO Mr. Lin Wu.
