PowerX is revolutionizing energy storage by establishing a gigafactory in Japan dedicated to producing various energy storage solutions, including EV hyperchargers and home batteries.
In 2015, we started Japan's first demonstration project covering energy storage connected to the power grid in the Koshikishima, Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima. This project is still operating in a stable manner today. One feature of our grid energy storage system is that it utilizes reused batteries from EVs.
Stonepeak and CHC’s energy storage platform will develop five new battery storage projects in Japan. These projects have a combined capacity of 348 megawatts (MW). The deals were finalized under Japan’s Long-term Decarbonization Auction. These projects were selected as part of Japan’s latest long-term auction focused on low-carbon energy.
Here, we will delve into our path taken to launch a completely new business and start operation of the first large-scale energy storage facility in Japan in 2024, as well as the challenges and future prospects on the front line. Joined the Company in 2013.
Storage systems like BESS help keep power systems stable, especially when more electricity comes from solar and wind sources. Other projects in Japan include a municipal BESS project in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. This small-scale system, with an installed capacity of 2 MW/4 MWh, is operated by a city-owned energy company.

Once operational, the battery storage systems will help balance supply and demand on the national power grid. Battery storage is viewed as an important part of Japan’s decarbonization plans. Storage systems like BESS help keep power systems stable, especially when more electricity comes from solar and wind sources.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
