Regarding the Full-Scale Start of the Energy Storage Business
TOUCHI INTERNATIONAL CORP. has officially started its energy storage business, based on the expertise cultivated in solar and wind power generation projects, to contribute to the further development of renewable energy.
Background of Entry into the Battery Storage Business
Our company entered the solar power generation business in 2014 and has been operating multiple power plants nationwide. With the spread of renewable energy, the smoothing of output fluctuations has become a social issue, and battery storage is gaining attention as essential infrastructure for stabilizing the power grid. Leveraging our achievements in the power generation business and the comprehensive capabilities cultivated in a wide range of business fields such as non-ferrous metals and construction machinery, we have decided to fully enter the battery storage business.
Direction of Business Development
Specifically, starting with the construction of a grid-connected battery storage facility in Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture, we will undertake the planning, development, and operation of battery storage facilities at renewable energy hubs nationwide. Through a business model utilizing the FIP system, we aim for stable business operations that secure both revenue from electricity transactions linked to market prices and revenue from renewable energy surcharges. President Kokushi Ryu stated, "The battery storage business will become the second growth engine for our renewable energy business. While contributing to Japan's decarbonization, we will achieve sustainable enhancement of corporate value."
