NR-Power Lab
NR-Power Lab announced a press release on June 13, 2024, titled "Starting the Development of a Business Model for Hybrid Storage Facilities with Sharing Functions - Aiming for an Asset-Free Service that Only Provides Storage Functions." This hybrid storage facility with sharing functions (StorageHub) began operations on July 24, 2025, as a solar power plant operated by manorda Iwate, a regional trading company fully funded by Iwate Bank. StorageHub is a storage facility that allows for flexible installation and utilization of batteries in an asset-free model, minimizing initial investment and eliminating the need for equipment. It not only reduces the burden of initial investment but also enables service provision to small-scale users through decentralized installations. This system combines NAS batteries, which are characterized by large capacity and long lifespan, with lithium-ion batteries that offer high output and a wide range of sizes, creating a hybrid storage battery system capable of flexibly meeting a wide range of power needs, regardless of scale or installation location, such as consumers or power plants. We have created articles about the opening in multiple media, so please take a look.
