Yokohama City is promoting the wind power generation business as an opportunity for each and every citizen to take concrete actions and as part of measures against global warming through the use of renewable energy to realize the SDGs Future City.
The Yokohama Wind Power Plant “Hama Wing” is a symbolic project of Yokohama City's environmental behavior, which raises construction costs through the issuance of a municipal bond “Saikazaguruma” and a subsidy from the government. It is operated by the sponsorship of the “Y (Yokohama)-Green Partner” and the proceeds from power sales.
One of these companies, Keikyu Corporation, has been working on June 1 as an initiative in June of Environment Month, utilizing a mechanism for using renewable energy from wind power generation by sponsoring companies. Electric power for railways (*) used on all lines of the Keikyu Line will be provided by renewable energy by Hamawing.
(※) Electricity used in station buildings, railroad crossings, traffic lights, etc. It does not include the power that moves the train itself.
