Nippon Chikudenchi Starts Grid Battery Facility Installation in Shobara

Nippon Chikudenchi Co., Ltd. has announced the commencement of equipment installation for a new grid-connected battery facility named NC Shobara City Nanaduka Town Battery Station. Located in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, this initiative plays a critical role in addressing the pressing need for reliable energy sources in light of the ongoing push for carbon neutrality and the increase in renewable energy usage.

With the global call to enhance sustainable energy solutions, ensuring a stable power supply has become a key social issue. In this context, securing 'regulatory power' has emerged as an essential challenge. Nippon Chikudenchi is addressing this by managing various aspects of the battery system’s deployment, from site selection and coordination with electricity companies to the selection and implementation of optimal energy storage solutions and the construction of the facility.

The battery facility is designed to contribute to the demand-supply adjustment market, the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX), and the capacity market, while also supporting the smoothing of renewable energy output. The installation officially commenced on December 2, 2025, with Tokyo Densetsu Service Co., Ltd. leading the construction efforts.

Facility Overview

The NC Shobara City Nanaduka Town Battery Station is strategically located in an area deemed suitable for energy storage solutions, thereby maximizing its efficiency in stabilizing electricity supply. The operational goals of the facility revolve around enhancing the grid's reliability and promoting the integration of renewable energy sources into Japan's energy system.
