Hokuriku Electric Power (Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture) announced on June 20 that it will introduce an "off-site PPA" utilizing floating solar power generation (mega-solar) by collaborating with Kaga City in Ishikawa Prefecture and Kaga Furusato Denki, using agricultural reservoirs. The generated renewable energy will be supplied to public facilities such as city halls and elementary and junior high schools, with usage expected to begin in March 2026. In this project, approximately 1,000 kW of solar panels installed on the reservoir are expected to generate about 1.2 million kWh annually. This is equivalent to the electricity consumption of about 430 average households and is anticipated to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 520 tons per year. This is the first time an off-site PPA has been introduced for public facilities in Kaga City, and it is also the first initiative of its kind for the Hokuriku Electric Power Group in floating solar. This project is part of the "Kaga City version of RE100," aiming to supply the city's energy with locally produced renewable energy. Hokuriku Electric Power and Kaga City will continue activities that contribute to regional decarbonization and economic circulation.

Cosmo Energy Holdings (Minato-ku, Tokyo) announced on June 18 that its group company, Cosmo Eco Power, has signed a "Physical PPA" contract with Eneglobal (Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture) to directly supply solar power to businesses. Under this contract, renewable energy will be procured for approximately 16 years from seven solar power plants (totaling 7,200 kW) managed by a group company of Eneglobal in Ibaraki Prefecture. The generated electricity and environmental value will be consolidated by the Cosmo Energy Group and supplied to consumers. Cosmo Energy Solutions will be responsible for sales to renewable energy consumers. The power plants include "agricultural solar" that allows for the coexistence of farmland and solar power generation, contributing to the continuity of local agriculture. Stable sales revenue from electricity is also expected through the utilization of the FIP system. The Cosmo Group and Eneglobal stated that they will "continue efforts towards the spread of renewable energy and the realization of a carbon-neutral society."

Tokyo Electric Power Holdings (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo) announced on June 20 that it will collaborate with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to install a mega-solar and green hydrogen production facility at the "Outer Central Breakwater Landfill" in Koto Ward. The basic design is scheduled for fiscal year 2025, with operations aimed to begin in fiscal year 2028. The plan includes the establishment of solar power generation with an output of over 1MW and an "electrolysis facility" that produces 100Nm³ of hydrogen per hour by splitting water using electricity. The hydrogen produced here will be compressed and transported for use in power generation and factories. Additionally, water supply facilities and management buildings will also be developed. Hydrogen is expected to serve as a solution to the weaknesses of solar and wind energy, which are affected by weather, as it can store large amounts of energy for long periods. Green hydrogen is an important energy source for a decarbonized society, as it does not emit CO₂ during production. Tokyo Electric Power has a track record of utilizing renewable energy and hydrogen, including hydrogen demonstration projects in Yamanashi Prefecture, and aims to further promote the adoption of renewable energy and hydrogen in Japan through this initiative.

Hokuriku Electric Power (Toyama Prefecture) and Marubeni New Power (Tokyo) announced on June 17 that they have begun supplying renewable energy to Kaga Toshiba Electronics (Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture). This initiative is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 13,000 tons annually, which is equivalent to the emissions of about 5,000 average households. In this project, Marubeni New Power aggregates electricity generated from multiple solar power plants and supplies it to Kaga Toshiba Electronics through an off-site corporate PPA facilitated by Hokuriku Electric Power. The total generation capacity is approximately 24 MW, with an annual generation of about 27 GWh, and the supply commenced in June for a period of 20 years. Hokuriku Electric Power aims to increase renewable energy development by over 1 million kW by the early 2030s and is expanding services such as PPAs. Marubeni New Power also plans to increase its renewable energy handling capacity to 5 million kW by 2030. Both companies are committed to contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society and the creation of a sustainable society.

JA Mitsui Lease (Chuo Ward, Tokyo) announced on June 23 that it will begin an initiative to reuse and recycle properties after the expiration of leases in collaboration with its group company, JA Mitsui Lease Asset, and Reitem (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo). This initiative aims to collect used information equipment and solar panels and circulate resources through reuse and recycling. Specifically, it will support the reuse of information equipment through secure data deletion and promote the recycling of solar panels. Additionally, it will jointly hold seminars on environmental measures and legal systems for companies engaged in decarbonization management. Reitem will utilize its own recycling factory and nationwide network to aim for the realization of a circular economy with advanced technology. The JA Mitsui Lease Group aims to achieve a recycling rate of 99.8% for returned leased properties by the fiscal year ending March 2025. It will continue to strengthen its efforts toward creating a sustainable society.
