Stonepeak and CHC have announced the creation of a platform focused on the development, construction, and operation of energy storage projects in Japan. The platform will focus on developing, constructing, and operating BESS projects to accelerate Japan’s power industry decarbonisation by leveraging Stonepeak’s investment experience in Japan’s renewable sector and CHC’s technical expertise.
Furthermore, the Stonepeak / CHC platform was recently awarded a 20-year fixed revenue capacity market contract for four BESS projects as part of the Japanese government’s inaugural Long-term Decarbonization Auction. The platform will initially aim for 1 GW of BESS projects in Japan over the next five years.
