TAOKE ENERGY Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "TAOKE") announced the completion of grid connection on July 7, 2026, for the "Gifu Kakamigahara No. 2 2MW High-Voltage Energy Storage Plant," which it has been developing in Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture. This project is being advanced through the special purpose company (SPC) "PP6 Goudou Kaisha" and represents TAOKE's first energy storage fund project utilizing external capital.
In recent years, with the rapid expansion of renewable energy installations, ensuring grid stability by managing the variable power output of renewables—dependent on weather and time of day—has become increasingly critical. Particularly at the regional grid level, securing flexible regulation capacity to optimize supply-demand balance and reduce output curtailment has emerged as a key challenge. Grid-scale battery storage systems are now widely expected to play a pivotal role in addressing these issues.

Facility Overview
Name
Gifu Kakamigahara No. 2 2MW High-Voltage Energy Storage Plant
Location
Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture
Rated Output
2MW
Capacity
8MWh
Grid Connection Date
July 7, 2026
The facility utilizes a 2MW/8MWh battery energy storage system to conduct charge-discharge operations based on grid conditions and market dynamics, contributing to power supply-demand balancing. As a high-voltage, decentralized storage plant, it enables flexible operations distinct from large-scale centralized facilities, positioning it as critical infrastructure supporting the effective integration of renewable energy sources within the local power system.
