Nippon Chikudenchi Launches New Energy Storage Facility in Tottori
Nippon Chikudenchi Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has successfully commenced operations at its latest energy storage facility, the "NC Tottori City Kitaka Town No. 2 Storage Facility," located in Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture. Officially starting on June 30, 2026, this facility plays a pivotal role in balancing the supply and demand of electricity, particularly as the adoption of renewable energy continues to rise in Japan.
The NC Tottori City Kitaka Town No. 2 Storage Facility is strategically positioned to absorb and stabilize fluctuations in renewable energy output. It caters to various energy markets, including the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX), supply-demand adjustment markets, and capacity markets, thereby establishing itself as a decentralized energy hub for the region. Additionally, this facility is designed to support local power supply during emergencies, contributing to the community's resilience against disasters.
In light of the growing integration of renewable energy sources, maintaining a balanced electricity supply has become a critical challenge. Energy storage systems like this one are essential in absorbing fluctuations, thus ensuring stable grid operations. For this project, Nippon Chikudenchi adopted the highly reliable NExT-e Solutions battery system, alongside a power conditioning system (PCS) to facilitate stable operations in the supply-demand adjustment market, JEPX, and capacity markets.
The construction of the facility was handled by Y-just Co., Ltd., which took into account environmental conservation and safety during the design and construction phases. Their expertise ensured adherence to high standards and sustainable practices, contributing to both the facility’s operational efficiency and the well-being of the local ecosystem.
Nippon Chikudenchi is committed to driving energy storage projects across Japan, strengthening collaborations with local communities, municipalities, and companies. Their goal is not only to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society but also to enhance disaster response capabilities. By expanding their network of energy storage facilities, they aim to bolster the power infrastructure in regions across the country, paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
