Notice Regarding the Commencement of Construction of the System Storage Battery Plant and the Conclusion of an Aggregator Contract

Overview

Escripto Energy has announced plans to expand its grid-scale storage battery business by constructing a 2MW/8MWh storage facility, the "SCE Isa Storage Facility in Isa City, Kagoshima Prefecture." This matter is disclosed as a material progression, noting that a contract with RE100 Energy Co., Ltd. as aggregator has been signed. The project aims to increase revenue opportunities and reduce business risk by operating the storage batteries with advanced AI and conducting trades across multiple markets. Construction is entrusted to ENEFORWARD, with completion scheduled for February 2027. The impact on future performance is currently under review.

Outlook and Investor Impact

The extent of contribution to fiscal year ending March 2027 is under review, and formal disclosures will be made promptly if material matters arise. The aggregator business for grid-scale storage facilities could contribute to demand-supply stabilization and carbon neutrality, potentially diversifying the revenue base. However, given the long duration from groundbreaking to completion and the uncertain timing of initial investment recovery and operating costs, specific financial contribution figures are not available at this time.
