The other day, I posted an article titled " The Frontline of the Grid Battery Business – System Reforms and Legal Risk Management in 2025 – Practical Responses Based on Contracts, Permits, and Market Trends ."
Using this information, we have published a column titled "Investment Guide for the Japanese Battery Business 2025 - A thorough explanation of market opportunities, profit strategies, regulatory environment, and legal practices" on our law firm's website.
In this column, we will carefully explain the following topics:
Since I have the opportunity, I have researched and written about not only legal matters but also business aspects.
- The structure of the three main revenue sources - the wholesale electricity market, the supply-demand balancing market, and the capacity market - and practical considerations
- Trends in "first-come, first-served" rules and "measures to prevent empty seizures" in the grid interconnection system, and the practical flow of how to link land acquisition with grid connection
- Detailed guidelines on legal risks related to development land (Agricultural Land Act, City Planning Act, Building Standards Act) and land acquisition and contract strategies
- Important points for foreign investors: Japanese language procedures, business practices, contract clause structure, etc.
In particular, for those considering entering the storage battery business in Japan, I believe this will be a resource that provides an overview of the three areas of "understanding the system," "practical procedures," and "contracts and legal affairs."
Recently, we have received many inquiries from foreign companies about Japan's battery storage business, and we expect this book to be read by not only Japanese companies but also foreign companies looking to enter the Japanese market.
It's quite long, so I hope you'll start reading from the part that interests you.
