Is LG Chem a leader in the storage battery market in Japan?

LG Chem Ltd. has dominated the storage battery market in Japan. The company has supplied storage systems to 2 of the 6 operational and 5 of the 9 under-construction solar plus storage plants, equating to around 47% of the 15 PV+storage projects in Japan. Hokkaido is the home to 87% of the largest solar plus storage projects in Japan.

How big is Japan's energy storage capacity?

Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Japan had 1,671MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 10,074MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Japan, according to GlobalData’s power database.
