We started developing solar power plants in fiscal 2014 and wind power plants in fiscal 2015, starting as new businesses in anticipation of the future increase in demand for renewable energy. In fiscal 2016, we set out to solve three social issues: "Realizing a decarbonized society," "Improving Japan's energy self-sufficiency," and "Developing the local economy," and established a department dedicated to renewable energy to aim for full-scale business expansion. As of the end of December 2020, our business scale has grown to one of the largest in Japan, with a total rated capacity of 1,145 MW and a total investment of over 230 billion yen, operating 35 solar power plants and three wind power plants nationwide, and developing 15 power plants.
We will continue to expand the capacity of renewable energy sources, including not only FIT (Feed-in Tariff) power plants but also non-FIT power plants, contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society, and play our role as an environmentally advanced company.
