Kamigumi Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Kobe; President & Representative Director: Yoshihiro Fukai; "Kamigumi" hereinafter) and Banpu Japan K.K. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Niti Pitakteeratham) have made a decision to establish Tokyo Uminomori Battery Business Company, G.K., a special-purpose company, with investment from both companies and to build the Tokyo Uminomori Battery Energy Storage System on the site of Kamigumi Tokyo Multipurpose Distribution Center, to engage in the grid-scale battery business that will contribute to the spread of renewable energy use and the stabilization of grid power.
The use of renewable energy is projected to increase at an accelerating pace toward the realization of a decarbonized society. There are great expectations for this business as being essential in promoting the adoption of renewable energy.
By entering this business as part of Exploration of New Businesses, a key strategy of its Medium-Term Management Plan, Kamigumi will contribute to promoting the adoption of renewable energy and the realization of a carbon-neutral society in Japan, through stabilizing the supply and demand balance of grid power.
