HDRE Secures Nearly 160 MW in Japan's LTDA with 3 Major Strategies to Drive Global Deployment of 9.4 GW

HDRE has been awarded contracts in Japan's LTDA for the 3rd consecutive year, securing a cumulative awarded capacity of approximately 560 MW

HD Renewable Energy (HDRE) secured nearly 160 MW of battery energy storage capacity in Japan's Long-Term Decarbonization Auction (LTDA) for the 3rd consecutive year. With cumulative awarded capacity reaching approximately 560 MW, the company continues to build a stable overseas asset portfolio supported by long-term recurring revenue. By 2029, HDRE's global project pipeline across Taiwan, Japan, and Australia is expected to reach 9.4 GW, reinforcing its long-term growth strategy focused on contracted revenue, liberalized electricity market services, and AI-driven power supply integration.

Japan remains a key market in HDRE's overseas energy storage strategy, with local project reserves projected to reach 3.4 GW by 2029. In this year's LTDA auction, HDRE accounted for nearly 30% of the awarded lithium battery storage capacity nationwide. The newly awarded projects in Kagoshima and Miyagi will operate through both capacity market mechanisms and electricity trading platforms to strengthen long-term profitability. As Japan's data center electricity demand continues to grow, HDRE is also expanding opportunities to support data centers and energy-intensive industries through localized energy supply solutions.

In Australia, HDRE's solar and storage developments are progressing steadily from development into construction and operations, with project reserves expected to reach 2.7 GW by 2029. Through its ZEBRE platform, the company continues participating in government-backed capacity and long-duration storage programs, including the CIS and FERM initiatives. HDRE is also advancing emerging electricity market services by negotiating Virtual Tolling Agreements with international financial institutions and commodity traders to capture additional value from wholesale electricity market volatility.

In Taiwan, HDRE currently holds nearly 3.3 GW of projects and has expanded its asset management platform in partnership with insurance companies and strategic investors, increasing assets under management from NT$72 billion to NT$76 billion. Driven by rising green electricity demand from advanced semiconductor manufacturing, growing nighttime peak loads, and long-term renewable energy policies, the company expects continued expansion in Taiwan's energy storage market. HDRE also plans to launch acquisition initiatives targeting 250 MW to 500 MW of solar assets this year to further strengthen its domestic portfolio while leveraging operational experience across Japan and Australia.
