responding to customer energy-related needs in diverse ways, and will grow along with local communities and society.
Basic Strategy
Individual Strategies
To meet expanding demand for electric power, we are actively
promoting household conversion to all-electric energy.
As of the end of FY2017, the number of
all-electric homes topped one million.
With the complete deregulation of retail gas pricing in April 2017,
we embarked on city gas sales in the Fukuoka and Kitakyushu
areas.
By leveraging our strong customer base cultivated through
our electric power business, as well as our ability to stably
procure, low-priced LNG, we are offering gas to customers at
attractive prices.

To enhance the competitiveness and reliability of our electric power sources, we are constructing cutting-edge coal-fired thermal power
plants. Our policy is to successively decommission older, economically inefficient facilities.
The new Matsuura Power Station Unit 2 employs highly efficient ultra-supercritical (USC) power generation technology, which delivers
lower fuel costs and reduces impact on the environment.EVCharging/

■しかく Concept
Since June 2018, we have begun field testing of Vehicle to Grid (V2G)* technology in collaboration with other companies. V2G supplies
power from electric vehicles (EV) to the power grid, allowing utilization of EVs in adjusting supply and demand.
As part of this proof-of-concept initiative, we have received funding from the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy as part of their
"Demonstration experiment of virtual power plant construction leveraging energy resources on the demand side."
