Virtual PPA Utilizing Wind Power

The Joshin Group has entered into a virtual power purchase agreement (Virtual PPA) with Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. and Shirama Wind Farm Co., Ltd. (part of the Kinden Group, hereinafter “Shirama WF”), with operations scheduled to begin in October 2025.

Under this initiative, 30,000 MWh of electricity generated annually by Shirama WF’s wind power plant located in Wakayama Prefecture (capacity: 30,000 kW; annually approximately 60,000 MWh) will be supplied to the Group’s business sites across the Kansai area.

Through this effort, the Group will reduce the environmental impact of our business sites’ operations throughout the Kansai region, while promoting “local production for local consumption” of renewable energy and enhancing contributions to local communities.
