A.D.Works will develop and operate grid-scale battery storage assets, the investment real estate company’s publicly traded parent A.D.Works Group announced on April 3, 2025.
“We will contribute to the spread of renewable energy by using our real estate acquisition-related information gathering and discerning capabilities,” said the parent company in a statement. It added that the focus will be on relatively small-scale assets on approximately 1,500m2 plots of land that can be developed faster than larger facilities.
The company said it has already acquired land and is preparing to order equipment for its first project, expected to commission in January 2026. Concurrently, it is selecting locations for its second and third projects. The batteries’ trading will be outsourced to an aggregator. No further details about the projects were provided.
Its entry into grid-scale BESS will allow A.D.Works to establish a presence and gain access to opportunities in a growing and immature market and create potential for developing new investment products in the future, according to the holding company. “We are considering turning operational power storage stations into funds,” it added.
A.D.Works is the latest company with little to no prior experience in the energy industry to develop grid-scale storage projects. Among others, it follows Wada Kohsan, another publicly traded real estate company, which plans to commission its first asset in July 2025.
