by with No Comment News

JGC Holdings Corporation announces that a consortium of JGC Corporation, NGK Insulators Ltd, and MCS International LLC has been awarded a contract for the construction of Mongolia’s first solar power generation project with a battery energy storage system, as well as O&M services, for the Ministry of Energy of Mongolia.

This project is part of the “Upscaling Renewable Energy Sector Project”, which aims to expand the use of renewable energy in Mongolia, a country that depends on coal-fired power generation for its electricity supply and where air pollution is a serious problem. The project will be financed by a loan from the Asian Development Bank, and the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), which has been established by the Japanese Ministry of Environment at the Asian Development Bank. We will construct a solar power generation system with a capacity of 5MW, a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 3.6MWh, and an energy management system in Uliastai, Zavkhan Province, Mongolia by the spring of 2022.

By installing a solar power generation system equipped with an advanced battery energy storage system (BESS) and energy management system (EMS), it will be possible to use electricity derived from solar power generation day and night, thereby contributing to the improvement of energy security and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in Mongolia.

The awarding of this project is the result of the recognition of the JGC Group’s experience in the construction of solar power generation facilities and its ability to propose energy management solutions, the environmental resistance of NGK’s sodium sulfur batteries, and the construction performance of the local partner, MCS International. More renewable energy projects, including energy storage systems, are planned for Mongolia in the future, and JGC will promote further expansion of orders and contribute to the construction of clean social infrastructure in Mongolia and the Asian region.

As social momentum for the greening of the electric power industry accelerates, the JGC Group is working on the practical application of integration technologies for battery energy storage systems (BESS) and energy management systems (EMS), which will become indispensable as the introduction of renewable energies expands. We will continue to realize advanced power transmission infrastructure that is both economically rational and socially significant by proposing optimal energy management solutions that include not only power generation but also power storage and transmission.

JGC Awarded a Large-scale Solar Power Station Construction Project in Mie Prefecture, Japan

by with No Comment News

JGC HOLDINGS CORPORATION announced that JGC JAPAN CORPORATION, which operates the domestic engineering business of the JGC Group, was awarded an order in December 2020 for the design, procurement, construction and test-run services for a large-scale solar power station construction project in the Haze area of Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, planned by G.K. Succeed Tsu Haze with delivery targeted for March 2023.

The project calls for the construction of a solar power station (site area of approximately 76ha) with an output of around 50.95MW (equivalent to the annual power consumption of about 20,000 ordinary households) in Tsu City.

The JGC Group entered the solar power generation field early in 2012 when the feed-in tariff system for renewable energy in Japan was introduced, and has since then conducted numerous solar power station construction projects. The company established an impressive track record of achievements and accumulated knowledge as a contractor and from a business position.

JGC JAPAN CORPORATION has been involved in this project from the basic design stage and is maximally utilizing the knowledge it has gained. The company has supported the customer towards realization of the project. JGC JAPAN CORPORATION believes that its achievements and detailed response to customer needs were comprehensively evaluated, leading to this order.

As the movement toward low carbon and decarbonization accelerates worldwide, the JGC Group will continue to actively work on project orders in a wide field, not only solar power but also biomass power generation and offshore wind power generation, and will further contribute to renewable energy within and outside of Japan.
