6 FAQs about [Single energy storage project bidding information]
How many battery energy storage projects have won a bid?
Over a gigawatt of bids from battery storage project developers have been successful in the first-ever competitive auctions for low-carbon energy capacity held in Japan. A total 1.67GW of projects won contracts, including 32 battery energy storage system (BESS) totalling 1.1GW and three pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects totalling 577MW.
Are battery storage projects eligible for competitive power auctions?
Containerised battery storage units at a project in Hokkaido, northern Japan, where grid operator’s rules require renewable generators to add storage. Image: Sungrow. Energy storage projects will be eligible to take part in competitive capacity auctions for low-carbon power set to be launched this month by the Japanese government.
Can energy storage projects take part in low-carbon capacity auctions?
Energy storage projects will be eligible to take part in low-carbon capacity auctions set to be launched this month in Japan.
What are the implications of a combined renewables-plus-storage project?
There will be important implications for a combined renewables-plus-storage project depending upon whether the project is DC coupled or AC coupled. For example, AC coupled systems are generally viewed as being simpler since the renewable energy storage can be connected separately with AC power.
How many GW of energy projects won a contract?
A total 1.67GW of projects won contracts, including 32 battery energy storage system (BESS) totalling 1.1GW and three pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects totalling 577MW. The winning projects came from a pool of nearly 4.6GW of qualifying bids.
How do energy storage contracts work?
For standalone energy storage contracts, these are typically structured with a fixed monthly capacity payment plus some variable cost per megawatt hour (MWh) of throughput. For a combined renewables-plus-storage project, it may be structured with an energy-only price in lieu of a fixed monthly capacity payment.
