Toyama Daiichi Bank (located in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture) announced on June 12 that it has entered into an off-site PPA contract with Hokuriku Electric Power to start supplying renewable energy generated within the prefecture to its branches. This model is gaining attention as a "local production for local consumption" approach to utilizing renewable energy. The solar power plant being newly established by Biz Energy Solutions, a group company of Hokuriku Electric Power, in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture, will have an output of approximately 316 kW and an annual generation capacity of about 340 MWh. The electricity generated here will be supplied to Toyama Daiichi Bank's five branches in the prefecture, with about 28% of each branch's electricity consumption being switched to renewable energy. This is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 170 tons annually. The contract period is 20 years, with operations set to begin in December 2025. In addition, Hokuriku Electric Power has also entered into a similar contract with the Yomiuri Shimbun Tokyo headquarters to supply solar-derived electricity to factories in the Kanto region. Moving forward, the company will continue to promote the spread of off-site PPAs to achieve regional decarbonization and a sustainable society.
