Seminar on Battery Storage Revenue Strategies

On October 16, 2026, AnPrenergy CEO Takashi Muratani will conduct an important seminar addressing the financial dynamics related to recent changes in the battery storage system regulations. This event is essential for those involved in operating or financing storage projects.

Overview of the Seminar

The seminar titled "Redesigning Revenue Strategies After Revisions to Battery Storage Systems" will cover imperative topics on market adjustments that stakeholders in this space must navigate. With recent modifications to the payment structures for battery usage, especially in relation to demand and supply management, there is an increasing need for investors and operators to recalibrate their expectations and strategies accordingly.

Key Details:

• - Date and Time: October 16, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
• - Location: SSK Seminar Room, 4th Floor, Zaimax Nishinishbashi Building, 2-6-2 Nishinishbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo
• - Format: In-person attendance, live Zoom webinar, and two-week archived viewing available

Target Audience

The seminar specifically caters to:

• - Businesses already operating or under construction with grid-connected storage systems (managers, finance, operation staff)
• - Aggregators and EMS contractors managing battery operations
• - Lenders, investors, and asset managers financing battery projects
• - New power companies responsible for demand and supply management of battery procurement
• - Corporate planning teams assessing the feasibility of secondary investments

Core Challenges for Participants

Participants often express concerns such as:

• - Revenue is not aligning with simulation forecasts
• - Uncertainties about declines in revenue after October
• - Difficulties in justifying operations to lenders
• - Validation of third-party operations management.

Main Lecture Topics

As of September 1, 2026, the price cap for primary and secondary control capabilities will be reduced from ¥15 to ¥10. Additionally, on October 1, initial recruitment volumes in regions like Hokkaido and Tokyo will decrease by approximately 30%. This adjustment signifies potential risks for businesses that have based their investment strategies solely on primary control capabilities.

Murata will present numerical estimates of revenue gaps pre-and post-regulation changes, offering perspectives on operational designs to ensure existing investments. Not merely a discussion for newcomers, participants will learn valuable strategies to protect and potentially enhance their current operations.

Starting Points: The Three Essential Questions

1. Will forecasts deviate significantly? What are the possible changes? Can operations be halted?
2. What prompted the changes in regulation? - With the shift towards minimizing procurement costs in the energy adjustment market, the dynamics are tricky and evolving.
3. Where do assumptions between investors and regulators misalign? - Investigating how battery storage is often seen as a key component in the adjustment market.

Upcoming Regulatory Changes

Murata will break down the effects of regulations coming into effect sequentially after September 1 and October 1, emphasizing the implications for market participants.

Practical Models and Financial Metrics

Utilizing a model system with certain capacity details, attendees will see how old simulation figures stack against the newly adjusted factors, with a focus on critical comparisons across geographical areas.

Strategies for Revenue Maintenance

The seminar will outline sustainable operational tactics that leverage the battery market while counteracting potential penalties and operational risks to ensure long-term stability and profitability.

In summary, participants will leave with actionable insights to adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape, enhancing their operational models and preparing for future developments in battery storage. They will also receive a complimentary operational checklist as part of their attendance.
