The North Hokkaido Wind Energy Transmission Corporation has recently initiated a project for developing the transmission grid for the transmission of wind-generated energy. One element for stabilising such a grid is this very large storage unit: It has an output of 240 megawatts and a storage capacity of 720 megawatt hours, which is the equivalent of about 45,000 electric vehicles. Besides balancing the grid, the project will also allow making more efficient use of clean renewables such as wind and solar, which is a key element of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals: Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Construction will start in the fiscal year of 2020 and start of operation is planned by 2022.
