On the 18th, Takuma <6013> announced that its subsidiary, Takuma Energy, has signed a contract related to the sale of 'Non-FIT Non-Fossil Certificate' demonstrating the environmental value generated at the waste power generation facility of Seibu Gas, a subsidiary of Seibu Gas Holdings <9536>.
Under the Energy Supply Structure Advancement Act (Advancement Act), retail electricity businesses with an annual sales electricity volume of over 0.5 billion kWh are required to have a non-fossil fuel ratio of 44% or more by the fiscal year 2030. The demand for non-fossil certificates from businesses working towards achieving this target has been increasing, as purchasing these certificates effectively improves the non-fossil fuel ratio.
Takuma Energy has been providing products that combine environmental value including non-fossil certificates with electricity, supporting companies promoting decarbonization. Recently, they have started an initiative to sell only non-FIT non-fossil certificates separately to Seibu Gas, a target business under the Advancement Act. By utilizing the waste power generation plants they have delivered, they aim to stably procure non-fossil certificates, meeting the needs of businesses striving to achieve the goals of the Advancement Act.
Takuma Energy will continue to sell non-FIT non-fossil certificates in the future, striving to enhance the value of power plants and create value beyond electricity, contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society.
