This document explains the fundamental knowledge you should know when advancing the practical aspects of electricity procurement. By understanding the breakdown of electricity charges, you can grasp the reasons why electricity costs may be high and the key points to consider when reviewing electricity providers. Additionally, we will introduce the "units" that are essential for calculating electricity charges. We encourage you to read on. 【Structure of Electricity Charges】 ■ Electricity Charges = Basic Charge + Usage Charge (Electricity Unit Price × Amount of Electricity Used (kWh) ± Fuel Cost Adjustment + Renewable Energy Generation Promotion Levy - Total Discounts) ■ Basic Charge = Basic Charge Unit Price (Yen/kW) × Contracted Power (kW) × Power Factor Discount (Increase) *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The fuel cost adjustment system is a mechanism that automatically adjusts electricity rates every month in response to fluctuations in the prices of thermal fuels (crude oil, LNG (liquefied natural gas), and coal) in order to quickly reflect those changes in electricity charges. It is calculated based on the difference between the average fuel price derived from the trade statistics for crude oil, LNG, and coal over the past three months and the reference fuel price. For new power companies, to clearly demonstrate the reduction in electricity rates due to switching from traditional power companies, it is common for the fuel cost adjustment amount to be set at the same rate as that of the relevant area's power company. However, unlike the "renewable energy generation promotion surcharge," there is no legally established unit price, and some new power companies set their own unique fuel cost adjustment unit prices. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

In July 2012, a fixed price purchase system for renewable energy was introduced, which supported the spread of renewable energy, including solar power generation. Under the fixed price purchase system, the costs of purchasing electricity are covered by adding them to the electricity bills of the citizens. This is referred to as the "renewable energy surcharge." The renewable energy surcharge aims to promote the spread of renewable energy. As the adoption of renewable energy progresses, it also leads to a reduction in dependence on fossil fuels. This helps to mitigate the rise in electricity prices caused by fluctuations in fuel prices. Additionally, the price at which power companies purchase electricity from renewable energy producers is a long-term fixed price, which also takes into account a certain profit for the producers. We encourage you to read further. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

The contracted power is determined by the maximum demand power (maximum demand power per 30 minutes) over the past year, and regardless of whether the actual power used is high or low, a fixed basic fee is paid. The amount of electricity used over the year divided by the contracted electricity amount for the year is called the load factor, which varies depending on the building and how electricity is used. As a trend, customers with a low load factor are more likely to reduce their electricity costs. Please take a moment to read this. 【Load Factor】 ■ Load Factor (%) = Annual Electricity Usage ÷ (Contracted Power × 24 × 365) × 100 *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The power factor is a value defined in relation to the efficiency of alternating current power. It is the ratio of active power to apparent power, with a standard of 85% and a maximum value of 100%. The higher the number, the more effectively the power is being used. The power factor is determined monthly based on the effective and reactive power measured by the meter from 8 AM to 10 PM. 【Power Factor】 ■ Power Factor (%) = Active Power ÷ Apparent Power ・ Active Power: The power that is actually used ・ Apparent Power: The power sent by the power company *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Even if you switch your contract to a new electricity company, the electricity will still flow through the same power lines as before. Therefore, there is no need for the installation of new power lines or the replacement of electricity meters. The rate of power outages will not change regardless of the electricity company. In the unlikely event that the new electricity company withdraws from business or goes bankrupt, you are protected by the "last resort supply" safety net system under the Electricity Business Act, which was established with the full liberalization of electricity in 2016. Under this system, regardless of which electricity company your contract is changed to, the major electricity companies in each area are obligated to supply power as a backup, ensuring that consumers do not experience a disruption in electricity supply and do not suffer any losses. Therefore, everyone can confidently proceed with switching their electricity provider. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

When we hear about solar power generation, we often have a strong image of electricity being purchased by power companies. To promote solar power generation, the surplus electricity purchase program that started in 2009 has now been in place for over 10 years. By the fiscal year 2021, the purchase price had dropped to less than half. Due to such changes in the times, there has been a recent shift from "selling generated electricity" to "using generated electricity ourselves." On April 20, 2021, the Minister of the Environment stated that "solar power generation is the trump card" regarding CO2 emission reduction targets, indicating that solar power generation is likely to receive increasing attention moving forward. Therefore, this time we will introduce the current state of solar power generation.

Many of you may already know that in 2012, the "FIT system" was established as a measure to promote the introduction of renewable energy. The FIT system (Feed-in Tariff system for renewable energy) is a system that mandates electricity providers to purchase electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass at a price set by the government for a certain period. This system has rapidly accelerated the introduction of renewable energy, but as a new measure towards Japan's goal of "carbon neutrality by 2050," the "FIP system," which is market-linked, was introduced in April 2022 in addition to the "FIT system."

The major real estate investment advisory firm owns many buildings nationwide, and almost all of the properties are large in scale with a high number of floors. As a result, most of the buildings had quite favorable discounts applied to their contracts. Consequently, although various power companies offered quite good conditions, no matter how much we calculated, we could not achieve a reduction amount that fell below the penalty fees. After explaining the situation, we inquired with the power companies whether they could provide estimates for supply after the current contracts expire. As a result, they were flexible with the supply period and agreed to supply during the desired period according to the estimated conditions. Additionally, some power companies suggested that if the supply start date were to be earlier, they would provide another estimate, and if the conditions were to decrease further, they would supply under those conditions.

However, the energy industry is highly specialized, and with the recent increase in interest in environmental issues, the pace of information updates is very fast, leaving them in a state of uncertainty about where to start. At such a time, they learned about our company and utilized electricity auctions. The building they own, "Kitanomaru Square," was switched to a renewable energy menu in accordance with RE100 through our consulting services. By choosing this menu, the CO2 emissions generated from using electricity at Kitanomaru Square will effectively be zero.
