Erex to Build 2-MW Home Battery Storage System in Japan
Japan-based renewable energy company Erex plans to build a 2-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at its own facility, reflecting a targeted investment in distributed energy resilience. The project is designed with a strong customer focus, enhancing the company’s ability to deliver stable and reliable electricity to end-users while supporting local grid operations. Using innovative battery storage technology, the system will enable efficient power balancing, peak shaving, and better utilisation of renewable generation. The project’s benefits include improved energy self-sufficiency, reduced exposure to power market volatility, and greater operational flexibility. It also supports Japan’s broader energy transition by strengthening grid stability and demonstrating how small- to mid-scale storage solutions can complement renewable power and improve overall system efficiency.
Eastern International Completes Offshore Wind Projects, Secures New Yangjiang Contract
Eastern International has completed two major offshore wind power projects and secured an additional large-scale offshore transportation contract for the Yangjiang offshore wind project, underscoring sustained investment in renewable energy infrastructure and marine logistics. The projects highlight a strong customer focus, delivering safe, timely, and efficient transportation and installation services for offshore wind developers. Eastern International leverages innovative heavy-lift vessels, advanced marine engineering, and digital project management to handle complex offshore conditions and large turbine components.
