Whether it's a remote island microgrid or a solar-plus-storage setup near a coastal industrial cluster, installing and maintaining BESS in these salt-kissed regions demands more than standard engineering. The environment is more aggressive, unpredictable, and regulation-heavy.
Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is revising its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing procedures (regulations) to add a categorical exclusion for certain energy storage systems and revise categorical exclusions for upgrading and rebuilding.
This policy move, effective throughout 2025, was formalized through Decision 988/QD-BCT issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), building upon Circular 09/2025/TT-BCT. These updated FiTs aim to enhance grid reliability while aligning with the nation's broader.
Japan's energy storage policy is anchored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which outlined its ambitions in the 6th Strategic Energy Plan, adopted in 2021.
Since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has yet to release any energy-related policies, this article provides a concise analysis of Japan's energy storage policy trends based on existing party political orientations, energy planning, and relevant policy measures.
• Limit growth of fuel consumption for road transport to 25% for the period 2021 -2035 • Replace the existing conventional fossil fuel vehicles with cleaner technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) and with non-motorised transport (walking and cycling).
