Renewable energy is essential for decarbonization.
Mini-hydropower is more stable than solar and wind, and supports "local production for local consumption," but site availability limits development.
Formulating a feasible introduction plan for mini-hydropower is challenging.
Solution
Provide integrated engineering services from planning to installation and operation of equipment for optimal mini- hydropower generation by utilizing local unused energy
Propose PPP/PFI project schemes
Impact
Introduce mini-hydropower generation through public-private partnerships
Promote decarbonization by securing locally produced and locally consumed power sources
Combine with microgrids to secure power sources in times of disaster
Track Record
Many mini-hydropower installations in Japan in cooperation with local governments.
The ID&E group has operated nine power plants with a total capacity of 3.1 MW.
Challenge
As the introduction of renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind power accelerates, the challenge is to secure the regulating power for stable operation of the grid.
Solution
Development, construction, investment, operation, and related businesses related to ancillary service business using grid storage batterie.
Impact
Grid storage batteries will ensure power regulation, thereby contributing to grid stabilization and accelerating the introduction of renewable energies.
Secure business feasibility of grid storage business in cooperation with local power sources by utilizing the domestic supply and demand adjustment market, wholesale market, etc.
Track Record
Operation, development and EPC experience of grid storage batteries in Europe.
Potash Project 6MW/6Wh (UK)
Cenin Project 4MW/4.8MWh (UK)
Ruien Project 25MW/100MWh (Belgium)
Lion Project 50MW/50MWh x 2 (UK)
Challenge
Dependence on grid feed-in from large power plants poses challenges to decarbonization and disaster resilience.
Dependence on external sources for energy supply increases the cost of electricity and poses challenges to the local economic cycle.
Solution
Actualize stable supply and demand of electric power by utilizing unused local energy
Provide consistent engineering services from equipment introduction to operation
Impact
Reduced electricity cost Maximize the use of renewable energy and reduce the cost of electricity purchases for customers in the region by using our CEMS
Improved disaster resilience through stable power supply Actualize stable supply by controlling solar power, storage facilities, etc. according to local demand and combine them with grid power supply
Track Record
