Naganohara BESS

Delivering grid stability in a constrained network.

‍

We welcome the partnership with Gunma Prefecture to develop, construct and operate Naganohara BESS.

‍

‍

Project overview

We recently purchsed the land to build the Naganohara BESS in close partnership with Gunma Prefecture. The proposed project, with an indicative capacity of 30MW/120MWh, is scheduled to start operations in 2029.

Gunma Prefecture is located within TEPCO, one of the most complex and heavily loaded grids in Japan. The proposed Naganohara BESS will help to mitigate curtailment of solar generation and deliver aggregation of distributed solar into the TEPCO peak market, thus supporting Japan's journey to next zero by 2050.
