AI Storm's New Business Venture in Battery Storage

AI Storm Inc., previously known as Jexceed and headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently announced its entry into the battery energy storage system (BESS) business in Miyazaki Prefecture. This initiative aims to provide next-generation infrastructure essential for stabilizing the supply of renewable energy, thus contributing to Japan's shift towards sustainable energy solutions.

In collaboration with listed partner Digital Grid Inc., based in Minato, Tokyo, AI Storm intends to manage operations encompassing everything from operational planning to market bidding and discharge control in a seamless, one-stop manner. This unique partnership is expected to bolster operational reliability and sustainability for the new project.

Project Goals and Significance

The primary objective of this initiative is to generate revenue by selling the electricity stored in batteries back to the power market. As Japan increasingly focuses on renewable energy, ensuring a stable supply has become critically important. AI Storm's project in Miyazaki will not only help stabilize the supply-demand dynamics of electricity but also expand the utilization of renewable energy sources.

The introduction of this project promises to yield tangible benefits for the local economy by creating job opportunities and investment in the region, highlighting its relevance in the context of local revitalization. In alignment with Digital Grid, the project is structured to comprehensively manage every aspect of operation planning—from bidding to charging and discharging directives—ensuring a reliable backbone for its energy goals.

Project Overview

• - Project Name: Takahama High-Pressure Battery Project
• - Land Acquisition Completion: By August 2025
• - Battery Specifications: Huawei manufactured BESS
• - Scale: 2MW/8MWh (high-pressure)
• - Construction Start: September 2025, with operation expected to commence by May 2026.

Strengths in the Battery Business

With regards to market dynamics, Japan's energy storage market is projected to grow to approximately 511 billion yen by 2030, making it a high-potential industry. AI Storm's early entry position allows for timely capture of this expanding demand and helps build a sustainable growth framework.

Profitability

Although the battery business involves risks tied to fluctuations in market power prices, it is also characterized by the ability to yield consistent long-term revenues. This prospective revenue stream will diversify AI Storm's business model.

AI Integration

Looking ahead, AI Storm envisions integrating cloud systems with weather forecasting data, enabling AI-driven optimization of the battery systems, thus strengthening its competitive edge in the energy sector.

Synergy Opportunities

The battery business is expected to synergize with AI Storm's ongoing solar panel sales and innovative financial products, enhancing both venture opportunities and overall growth for the company.

Future Outlook

AI Storm is determined to go beyond being merely a power seller; it strives to contribute to building the social infrastructure necessary for stabilizing renewable energy supply. This Miyazaki project will serve as a launchpad to explore local partnerships for developing sustainable energy models. Furthermore, over the next three to four years, AI Storm plans to establish 20 construction sites nationwide with investments exceeding 10 billion yen. This strategy will not only address societal challenges related to energy stabilization and decarbonization but will also pave the way for establishing new revenue sources following its AI and digital signage ventures.

As AI Storm merges societal and corporate objectives, it continues to drive forward its growth plan aimed at surpassing a market capitalization of 50 billion yen within three years.
