Nippon Chikudenchi Begins Battery Installation in Kurayoshi

Nippon Chikudenchi Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has started the installation of a grid-use battery facility at the NC Kurayoshi Ishizuka Plant, located in Kurayoshi, Tottori Prefecture. This initiative is part of a broader effort to support the transition to carbon neutrality and to expand the adoption of renewable energy sources, which has become increasingly necessary in today’s energy landscape.

The need for stable power supply, particularly through securing "regulatory power", has emerged as a critical social challenge, especially with the rise in renewable energy usage. The company has been diligently working on the grid-use battery project to address this issue. Their integrated approach spans from the careful selection of appropriate land and coordination with electric power companies to the selection and implementation of optimal battery solutions, ultimately leading to the establishment of the battery facility itself.
