Energy Storage
The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage). Thermal energy storage systems can be as simple as hot-water tanks, but more advanced technologies can store energy more densely (e.g., molten salts
2021 – Understanding the current energy situation in Japan (Part
Due to the scarcity of energy resources in Japan, electric power rates are largely influenced by imported fuel oil prices. In fact, the rates have been linked to the prices of fuels such as crude oil and LNG. Fuel oil prices were relatively stable for several years, but increased in 2020 and 2021, which impacted the current power rates.
