Hitachi, Ltd., Brookfield Japan Kabushiki Kaisha, and Hartree
Partners Singapore Pte. Limited, known for its strength in commodity
trading, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on July 17 to jointly explore the
development of digital infrastructure in Japan.
Under this MoU, the three companies will jointly explore funding schemes to meet capital needs
for the development of grid-scale storage batteries to support grid stabilization and large-scale
digital infrastructure that require substantial amounts of electricity in Japan.
In this consideration, they will combine 日立’s comprehensive engineering capabilities in
designing, building, and operating infrastructure in the energy and digital sectors, as well as the
expertise of Lumada in accelerating digital innovation, Brookfield Group’s extensive
experience investing in and operating large-scale infrastructure globally such as data centers
and other digital infrastructure assets, and Hartree’s expertise in renewable project
development and commodities trading in the energy sector including electricity, LNG and
carbon.

Moving forward, by building an ecosystem with a wide range of partners utilizing this funding
scheme, they aim to promote the use of decarbonization technologies and digital technologies, and realize environmentally-friendly digital infrastructure that enables sustainable economic
growth.
To achieve a decarbonized society, mechanisms to stabilize electricity supply and demand in
response to fluctuations in renewable energy output are essential. Additionally, with the rapid
proliferation of generative AI and cloud services in recent years, the global demand for
electricity in data centers and semiconductor factories has been increasing, raising concerns
about the tight supply and demand of electricity. From these perspectives, in addition to
stabilizing the power infrastructure, it is crucial issue to sustainably supply green and stable
electricity to large-scale power consumers such as data centers. As a solution, amidst the
increasing demand for grid and industrial storage batteries and on-site power sources, the
development of digital infrastructure utilizing advanced technologies requires substantial initial
investment and strategic financing, necessitating a supporting funding scheme.
