The project is led by North Hokkaido and backed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Agency for Natural Resources and Energy.

North Hokkaido has plans to introduce transmission facilities and high-capacity energy storage systems for the project.

This will connect groups of large-scale wind turbines totalling more than 500MW to the grid in northern Hokkaido.

Mitsubishi Electric noted that its BLEnDer RE energy-management system has been designed to monitor and control batteries for renewable energy power supply.

It will also help in balancing electricity demand and grid stability.
