Transition to renewable energy

Introducing self-consumption solar power generation facilities, with consideration for supply chain reform and investment in domestic production:
In recent years, an increasing number of Japanese businesses have made RE100 declarations. At the same time, disasters exacerbated by climate change have caused local power outages and other disruptions in basic needs, highlighting the need for energy supply options that strengthen resilience.
The Japanese Government is dedicating a revised budget of five billion JPY to support the adoption of solar power generation equipment to allow solar energy to be produced for one’s own use. This scheme is based on the on-site power purchase agreement (PPA) model, which contributes to the promotion of decarbonization and disaster prevention. Under this model, energy companies offer renewable electricity to businesses and individuals and install panels that they will continue to own and maintain where their clients reside. Meanwhile, businesses and individuals buy renewable electricity at a fixed long-term price with minimal risk of price hikes and only pay for the electricity they use.
