Chikuden: https://battery-navi.jp/lp001/

"Chikuden" is a service that introduces companies considering the introduction and development of grid-scale storage batteries to businesses that handle development land, EPC businesses that propose and sell grid-scale storage battery systems in a package, aggregators, and others, according to consultation content and business conditions.

It provides an environment where companies can proceed with comparisons and consultations from the initial stages of consideration for grid-scale storage battery projects, which require land/project searching, comparison of equipment/construction, profitability simulations, and coordination with multiple specialized businesses.

Background | Expanding Grid-Scale Storage Battery Market and Challenges in Project Consideration

Interest in the grid-scale storage battery market is growing against the backdrop of expanding renewable energy adoption and stabilizing power supply and demand.

However, actual project consideration requires coordination with multiple stakeholders, including businesses that handle development land, businesses that possess connection-examined or rights-holding projects, EPC businesses that propose and sell grid-scale storage battery systems in a package, and aggregators.

Therefore, challenges such as "not knowing who to consult" and "difficulty in proceeding with consideration while comparing projects and businesses" tend to arise.

"Chikuden" supports the consideration and entry into grid-scale storage battery projects by providing opportunities for consultation with appropriate businesses based on the status of land/projects and the stage of consideration.

"Chikuden" Service Overview

Chikuden is a matching service for investors and business companies that supports business selection and project comparison, which can be challenging when considering and entering grid-scale storage battery projects. *Investors and business companies can use the initial consultation and business introduction consultation for free.

The required consultation destinations and procedures vary greatly for grid-scale storage battery projects depending on the availability of land/projects, desired scale, introduction timing, and stage of consideration.

Through preliminary interviews, Chikuden organizes the content and conditions of consideration and can handle consultations such as the following:

- Want to compare only EPC businesses - Want to find projects with land or development projects - Want to confirm the feasibility and business viability of owned land or projects under consideration - Want to find a business that can handle everything from land development and equipment introduction to construction and operation in a package

Chikuden's feature is that it organizes consultation destinations according to the necessary scope while keeping the already decided conditions as they are, and introduces appropriate businesses.
