Cooperation Agreement on Renewable Energy

　In the "Yokohama City Global Warming Countermeasures Action Plan" revised in October 2018, Yokohama City has set "Zero Carbon Yokohama" decarbonization 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 (renewable energy), but Yokohama's renewable energy supply potential is about 10% of the city's electricity consumption in 2050. It is estimated that electricity generated in the city alone cannot meet the demand in the city. Therefore, we have concluded a "Cooperation Agreement on Renewable Energy" with local governments that have abundant renewable energy resources, and decided to work together to contribute to the creation, introduction, and expansion of use of renewable energy.
　In this agreement, we will promote the use of renewable energy and work on building a new model of the "regional recycling symbiosis area" through renewable energy.

　For more information about the cooperation agreement, please see this press release.
