Erku energy storage power supply

What is EKU energy's battery storage project?

The facility will store enough electricity to power 63,000 households for four hours. This is Eku Energy’s first battery storage project in Japan and aligns with the country’s efforts to boost renewable energy use, achieve decarbonisation targets and improve energy security.

Why does Japan need EKU energy storage solutions?

In Japan, the rise in renewable energy has led to more frequent output cut requests from utilities to balance the grid, resulting in the loss of potential clean energy. Eku Energy’s storage solutions aim to mitigate this issue, enabling better utilisation of renewable resources.

Will EKU energy expand its energy storage capacity by 2028?

Global battery storage company Eku Energy intends to expand its global energy storage capacity to 9 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2028. This ambitious target marks a substantial increase from the current 1.3GWh, underscoring the company’s commitment to accelerating the energy transition and enhancing the use of renewable sources.

Who is EKU energy?

With bold ambitions, a passionate team and strong shareholder support, Eku is working every day to make a positive impact on the world. Eku Energy is a global battery storage business working across the project life cycle to develop, build, and manage energy storage assets for the long-term.

Can electrical energy storage solve the supply-demand balance problem?

As fossil fuel generation is progressively replaced with intermittent and less predictable renewable energy generation to decarbonize the power system, Electrical energy storage (EES) technologies are increasingly required to address the supply-demand balance challenge over a wide range of timescales.

Does EKU energy have a 20-year offtake agreement with Tokyo Gas?

Eku Energy has signed a 20-year offtake agreement with utility Tokyo Gas for the project. The facility will store enough electricity to power 63,000 households for four hours.
