Leveraging Non-Firm Connection Benefits and the Globally-Proven “Nuvve Platform” to Maximize Profitability
NUVVE JAPAN K.K. today announced it has secured the rights to install and operate a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Oyada, Mino City, Gifu Prefecture. The project will feature a rated output of 2MW and a storage capacity of 8MWh, with operations scheduled to commence in November 2026.
With the acquisition of this project, Nuvve Japan’s total contract capacity has reached 6MW. This project serves as another milestone for NUVVE JAPAN as it expands deployments and capacity across Japan.
Project Features and Strategic Advantages Include:
1. Advanced Market Operation via the Globally Proven “Nuvve Platform”: The project will be powered by the “Nuvve Platform,” which has a track record of aggregating diverse EVs and stationary batteries across North America and Europe.
- High-Precision Forecasting and Bidding: By the start of operations in November 2026, the Company will further refine its Japan-specific market data. The proprietary AI will execute high-precision price forecasting and automated bidding/response to optimize performance across various markets.
- Comprehensive Market Participation: The platform will manage sophisticated operations across the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) and the Frequency Response balancing market to maximize revenue through arbitrage and grid stability services.
2. Long-Duration Storage with Sungrow Technology: The system provides 4 hours of continuous discharge by pairing a 2MW output with an 8MWh capacity. This allows for stable power supply during peak evening demand. The project adopts high-performance systems from Sungrow, a global leader in battery technology, ensuring top-tier safety and reliability.
