Vena Energy is forging ahead towards carbon neutrality with a successful execution of a corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Mitsubishi Corporation Clean Energy.    This landmark agreement will facilitate the procurement of electricity generated by the Maibara Solar Project, a 31.65MW photovoltaic power station currently under construction in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture. Expected to generate enough clean renewable energy to power approximately 8,560 Japanese households annually, this project offers low-emission electricity generation equivalent to avoiding over 18,600 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per annum and saves up to 31 million litres of water annually compared to conventional thermal energy generation methods.    Raul Rienda, Head of Japan at Vena Energy, expressed gratitude to local governments and host communities for their support and allowing Vena Energy to harness the region's natural resources responsibly. He remarked, “Vena Energy has successfully reached the milestone of 922 MW in operating capacity across Japan. We are very honoured to collaborate with Mitsubishi Corporation Group on this journey towards carbon neutrality. Our commitment to actively engaging in the corporate PPA market underscores our dedication to supporting corporate decarbonization efforts and Japan's transition to a decarbonized society.”    Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/d8ZBjgvg   #VenaEnergy #Sustainability #GreenEnergy  #CleanEnergy #GreenTransformation #MaibaraSolarProject #ShigaPrefecture #Japan

On August 7, 2023, #REPT #Battero and renewable energy company #VENA ENERGY officially reached an exclusive supply agreement for an 8GWh large-scale #energy #storage project in Jakarta, aiming to provide #clean #energy reserves for Indonesia. This significant collaboration marks the formal establishment of a strategic partnership between the two parties, which will help transform the local power structure in Indonesia and contribute to the promotion and popularization of renewable energy worldwide.   This is another energy storage order secured by #REPT #Battero this year, following #Energy #Vault and #Powin from the United States.   https://lnkd.in/g9KUgR8F   #REPT #Battero #Powin #EnergyVault #EnergyStorage #CleanEnergy #Lithium #Battery #PowerBattery #LIB #ElectricVehicle #Automobile #Car #EV #BEV #PHEV #NEV #OEM #plugin #electrification #EnergyStorage #ESS #BESS 

📍World Smart Energy Week 2023 is now being held in Tokyo from Sept. 13th to Sept. 15th. ☀️Solar energy has always been a cornerstone of Japan's drive towards renewable energy, especially since the introduction of the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program in 2012. ☀️ 🌱Currently, Japan is actively installing photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems in residential areas, while traditional energy developers are making large-scale investments in the clean energy sector. The Japanese photovoltaic market is now facing new opportunities and challenges. 😃JinenU Solar wishes World Smart Energy Week a great success! #SmartEnergyWeek #renewable #Japan #solarenergy

Japan Solar Update: No.57 ( Aug 7 ~ 10, 2023)  <METI Updates Outlook for renewable energy curtailment in FY2023> #meti #curtailment #outputcontrol #pv #renewableenergy #rts The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) updatesed the outlook for renewable energy output control in FY2023 ending March 2024 on Aug 3, 2023.  The amount of renewable energy output control is trending upward from the initial forecast at the end of 2022 due to a decrease in electricity demand and changes in the amount of use of inter-regional interconnection lines used.   The forecast of the renewable energy output curtailment rate for each area is 6.7% in Kyushu, 3.8% in Chugoku, up 2 to 3% from the initial forecast. Increases in curtailment rate were also reported for the Tohoku, Chubu, Hokuriku, and Okinawa areas, and the forecast of output curtailment in Kansai area was reported for the first time. For the Tokyo area, the probability of the renewable energy output control in FY2023 is highly unlikely.   Since the amount of renewable energy output curtailment is on the increase, METI plans to compile a new package of measures to reduce renewable energy output control by the end of 2023.  

The Organization for Cross-regional Coordination of Transmission Operators (OCCTO) is taking a significant leap forward to boost the use of renewable energy and ensure the efficient coordination of electricity supply and demand across Japan. ⚡   OCCTO has announced plans to dramatically expand Japan's power grid system. This includes the construction of an undersea cable that will connect the Tokyo area with Hokkaido, aiming to increase transmission capacity by 3.5 times in the fiscal year 2023. Moreover, there are also plans to enhance the power grid connections between the Kyushu and Chugoku areas. Through these ambitious expansion projects, OCCTO is committed to delivering a stable supply of renewable energy across the nation, contributing significantly to Japan's carbon reduction goals. 🌍 Find out more about OCCTO’s plans at: https://lnkd.in/gNgTYCpa Let's discuss: How do you think these developments will impact the future of renewable energy in Japan and beyond? #PowerGridExpansion #RenewableEnergy #GoalConnect #GreenEnergy 

Gurin enters Japan with 500MW battery project Pan-Asia renewables platform Gurīn Energy Pte Ltd has unveiled plans to build and operate a 500-MW/2-GWh battery in #japan under a project marking its entry into the Asian country’s #energystorage market. The battery energy storage system (BESS) will be the largest one of its kind in Japan, providing four hours of discharge capacity, Singapore-based Gurin Energy said in a recent press statement. The proposed investment is estimated at around JPY 91 billion (USD 633.4m/EUR 577.7m) and it is expected to be made in a six-year period. Gurin Energy intends to start building the complex in 2026. The company said it is considering several sites in #fukushima and #tochigi prefecture. Toshiba Mitsubishi - Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC) will supply the battery technology, while Nippon Energy Solutions will provide engineering consulting services. Once in operation, the battery will more than double Japan’s utility-scale lithium-ion energy storage capacity, helping grid operators to balance energy demand and generation. Japan, the fifth-largest electricity consumer in the world, aims to make #renewables account for 36%-38% of its energy mix and add 10 GW of energy storage capacity by the end of the decade. https://lnkd.in/gY_Cp-8R #japan #toshiba #energystorage #renewables #sustainability #japanjobs #fukushima

Happy International Day of Clean Energy 🎉 To celebrate, we wanted to shine a spotlight on our Nanao project 🔦 At TotalEnergies, we launched our first solar power plant in Nanao, Japan, in March of 2017. Situated on the stunning Noto Peninsula along the country's west coast and spanning over 25 hectares, our cutting-edge facility is powered by more than 80,000 high-efficiency SunPower solar panels, delivering clean energy to approximately 9,000 Japanese households. 🏡 🇯🇵 Japan has been on a remarkable path to diversify its energy mix. Committed to driving sustainable change, the Japanese government has set a target of achieving a 7% share of solar photovoltaic (PV) in its energy mix by 2030. 👷 Constructed on brownfield land owned by our esteemed project partner, ISE Foods, the Nanao PV power plant is TotalEnergies' pioneering venture into the Japanese renewable energy landscape. 💡 What makes this project truly remarkable is its triumph over geological and climate challenges. Situated along the coast and exposed to seismic risks, heavy rainfall, strong winds, and snow, the plant is a testament to our commitment to sustainable innovation. ➡️ Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/exBEPF7X #InternationalDayOfCleanEnergy #TotalEnergies #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #JapanEnergyTransition
