Collaboration Agreement on Renewable Energy

　In the "Yokohama City Global Warming Countermeasures Action Plan" revised in October 2018, Yokohama City has set the decarbonization "Zero Carbon Yokohama" by 2050 as the goal of the city's global warming countermeasures. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to convert the electricity consumed in the city to renewable energy sources, but the renewable energy supply potential of Yokohama City is estimated to be about 10% of the city's power consumption in 2050. It is estimated that renewable electricity generated in the city alone cannot meet the demand in the city. Therefore, we have concluded a “Renewable Energy Partnership Agreement” with local governments that have abundant renewable energy resources, and decided to work together to contribute to the creation, introduction, and expansion of renewable energy.
　Under this agreement, we will promote the use of renewable energy and work to build a new model for a "regional circulation symbiosis area" through renewable energy.

　For more information about the partnership agreement, please see the press release here.

Examples of past efforts include an overview of renewable energy, electric purchasers, retail electric utilities, and examples of regional revitalization contributions.

Supply electricity from renewable energy (* 1) to the Yokohama city area from municipalities that have concluded a partnership agreement on renewable energy with Yokohama City (to receive wholesale supply from power plants located in the municipalities and Yokohama city area We will confirm that it is electricity to be supplied to), and retailers will make efforts to contribute to the regional revitalization of municipalities that supply renewable energy etc. .

※１： Renewable energy electricity, etc. refers to renewable energy electricity and FIT electricity.
