We will start a VPP construction demonstration project utilizing electric vehicles!

Under the slogan "Zero Carbon Yokohama," Yokohama City is strengthening measures to combat global warming and energy, and is promoting initiatives to realize a sustainable urban model.
As part of this effort, we are developing a virtual power plant (VPP) construction project through public-private partnerships, utilizing the demonstration results of the Yokohama Smart City Project (YSCP).

As a collaborative local government for the VPP demonstration project of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry conducted by Tokyo Electric Power Company Energy Partner Co., Ltd. and five other companies, Yokohama City will participate in a V2G project (Vehicle to Grid), which regulates power supply and demand in both directions between the power system and EV/PHEV storage batteries.

The city of Yokohama will provide Asahi Public Works Office as a demonstration field.
