Otaru City reduces electricity costs by up to 29% with self-consumption solar power generation!

To address the rising electricity costs and renewable energy surcharges, we will increase "self-generated electricity" with industrial solar power and storage batteries, achieving both cost reduction and BCP measures simultaneously.

In recent years, industrial electricity rates have risen by about 74% compared to 2010, and it is predicted that electricity costs will continue to increase due to the rising renewable energy surcharge. The renewable energy surcharge is uniformly applied nationwide based on electricity consumption, which means that businesses that use more electricity bear a larger cost burden. This service is an energy solution that combines industrial solar power generation with storage batteries. By consuming the electricity generated in-house, it reduces the amount of electricity "purchased" from power companies, enabling the use of electricity without incurring the renewable energy surcharge. **Main Benefits of Implementation** - **Reduction in Electricity Costs:** There is no renewable energy surcharge on self-consumed electricity, which helps to limit the amount of electricity purchased. - **Revenue Generation from Selling Electricity:** Surplus electricity can be sold using the FIT (Feed-in Tariff) system. - **Accelerated Investment Recovery:** Due to the initial investment scheme, high-priced electricity sales are expected in the first five years. - **BCP and Disaster Preparedness:** With the addition of storage batteries, power supply is possible even during outages. This solution contributes not only to reducing electricity costs but also to business continuity during disasters. It is an industrial energy solution that simultaneously achieves cost reduction, revenue generation, and disaster preparedness. *For more details, please download the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
