GLOME Holdings plans to enter the grid-scale battery storage industry with a project acquisition expected to be completed on September 1, 2026, the TSE Growth-listed company announced on April 30, 2026.
According to the statement, the company expects the new business to become a growth driver supporting its recovery from an operating loss recorded in the third quarter of FY2025 and fluctuating revenue caused by the market environment of its core healthcare-related business.
To minimize development risk, GLOME Holdings aims to invest in late-stage projects that are ready for commissioning or near completion. It plans to hold the assets through special purpose companies (SPCs) and its subsidiary Fukuyama Medical Equipment.
The company initially plans to acquire two assets at about 750 million yen each. It did not disclose further details about the projects, but the cost suggests they are likely to be 2MW/8MWh high-voltage assets, which are common in Japan. The acquisitions are expected to be financed with proceeds from stock and stock warrant issuance scheduled for May 21, 2026.
The new equity will be raised from its largest shareholder HK Beida Jade Bird Investments, which currently holds an approximately 23% stake in the company, Mirai Saisei Shien Kiko, and CGV.
GLOME Holdings primarily offers consulting and other services to hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare facilities. It follows several other smaller-scale public companies with limited to no experience in the energy industry, such as Kuradashi, Star Seeds, and Port, that are positioning grid-scale battery storage as a key pillar of growth.
