In addition, a storage battery system manufactured by Toshiba Mitsubishi Electric Industrial Systems (TMEIC) with a capacity of 129.5MWh will also be installed. The town of Matsumae, where the power plant is located, is located on the Sea of Japan coast in southern Hokkaido and is said to have some of the best wind conditions in Japan.
