Japan to install world’s largest battery

Will be used to develop a stable electricity supply generated by solar and wind power sources.

Japan plans to install a massive battery at an electrical substation on the island of Hokkaido. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) said the battery will be put in place by the end of the first quarter in 2015.


The battery system will have a storage capacity of around 60,000 kWh.

Hokkaido, Japan's second largest island, is a center of renewable energy activity due to the availability and low prices of suitable land. Japan has seen solar energy use skyrocket since the introduction of a generous feed in tariff scheme.
