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.

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.
