ITOCHU ENEX Announces Completion of its First Self-consumption Type Solar Power Generation Facility
ITOCHU ENEX CO.,LTD. (Headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Kenji Okada, Representative Director, President and CEO) has completed the first project of the self-consumption type solar power generation facility at Nishinomiya CS (Car-life Station), which is operated by our consolidated subsidiary, enexfleet Co. Ltd. (Headquartered in Osaka city, Osaka; Shunji Masuda, Representative Director).
This project provides a new service that installs solar power generation equipment in plants, warehouses, or other customer facilities for their consumption of electricity they have generated themselves. In the current situation with every company being required to take environmental measures with the goal of establishing a carbon-free society by 2050, this business model enables customers to reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs through the consumption of eco-friendly electricity they have generated themselves from renewable energy sources.
Because we pay the expenses for installing the solar power generation equipment, this service does not require an initial investment from customers. Further, it is very easy to introduce because the equipment use cost is a fixed monthly fee that includes maintenance and inspection costs.
In this first project, we introduced solar power generation equipment with a total panel output of 97.5 kW at Nishinomiya CS of enexfleet Co. Ltd. The equipment's introduction is expected to reduce power consumption by approximately 31% when compared to before the introduction and reduce CO2 emissions an average of approximately 38.0 tons annually.
Going forward, our Group will provide this service to customers around the nation and contribute to realization of a sustainable society under our management philosophy, "The Best Partner for Life and Society."
