Bluefield Energy Opens Fukuoka Office

Bluefield Energy Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takafumi Shimada), which innovates structural inefficiencies in distributed energy generation and retail electricity with technology, has opened a Fukuoka office in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture on April 1, 2026. This is aimed at strengthening its business foundation in the Kyushu area and improving the value provided to customers and partners.

### Background to the Opening of the Fukuoka Office
As the introduction of renewable energy progresses nationwide, with the increase in distributed power sources, how to utilize and stably operate the generated electricity has become a crucial theme. In this context, as the status of renewable energy introduction and energy usage varies by region, it is important to consider power generation, storage, and operation methods in accordance with regional characteristics.

According to the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, the outlook for curtailment (※1) in the Kyushu area for FY2026 is 6.9%, which is projected to be the highest nationwide. Approximately 1.22 billion kWh of generated power is expected to be subject to curtailment, which is anticipated to significantly impact power plant owners' electricity sales revenue and business plans (※2).

Based on these circumstances, to further deepen collaboration with local customers, partner companies, and local governments, and to streamline information gathering and communication in the Kyushu area, Bluefield Energy decided to open the Fukuoka office to enhance business promotion capabilities.

※1 Curtailment: An operation that temporarily reduces or stops power output from generators when renewable energy generation exceeds grid capacity. This directly affects power plant owners' revenue as they cannot sell generated electricity.
