Clean Energy Connect Inc. (Representative Director: Teppei Uchida) and Tomoru & Company Inc. (Representative Director: Ryota Kitagawa) are pleased to announce that they have concluded a business alliance agreement for collaboration aimed at advancing corporate renewable energy procurement and decarbonization management.
◼️ Background: Decarbonization — From a “Cost” to a Source of “Competitiveness”
Amidst increasing demands for RE100 and SBT compliance and supply chain-wide emission reductions, renewable energy procurement has become a critical management issue that impacts corporate value.
However, for many companies, the following structural challenges act as barriers to decision-making:
Inability to formulate optimal renewable energy procurement strategies, leading to isolated measures.
Difficulty in implementing advanced schemes such as offsite corporate PPA and demand-side new power.
Challenges in simultaneously satisfying cost, stable supply, and environmental value.
Lack of execution capability to achieve 24/7 carbon-free energy.
To overcome these challenges, it is essential to have a system that can integrate and execute “strategy design” and “renewable energy securing and operation” without separation.
◼️ Aim of the Business Alliance: Seamless Support from Strategy to Implementation
Through this alliance, the combined strengths of both companies will create a system that provides seamless support for corporate renewable energy procurement, from strategy formulation to execution and operation.
〇 Overview
By combining the functions of both companies, we will provide end-to-end support for our corporate customers' renewable energy procurement.
〇 Role Sharing
＜Clean Energy Connect＞
Development and operation of small-scale solar power plants.
Provision of offsite corporate PPA and virtual PPA.
Formation of project and finance schemes (e.g., joint ventures) tailored to the needs of client companies.
Operational support through DX utilizing “CEC-Cloud®” for projects.
Provision of 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (24/7CFE) utilizing storage batteries.
＜Tomoru & Company＞
Support for overall planning and strategy formulation for renewable energy procurement.
Support for designing flexible procurement schemes.
Support for launching and operating demand-side new power to increase freedom in renewable energy procurement.
Support for battery introduction to maximize renewable energy procurement.
◼️ Provided Value: “Actionable Decarbonization” Directly Linked to Business Decisions
Through this alliance, we will provide the following value to corporate management and sustainability officers:
Eliminating the gap between strategy and execution
Formulation and execution of renewable energy procurement strategies that are not mere desk plans but envisage implementation.
Cost and risk optimization
Realizing mid-to-long term cost stabilization through optimal procurement design that considers electricity price fluctuation risks.
Reliable achievement of Scope2 reduction
Achieving highly effective emission reductions through the introduction of additional renewable energy.
Realistic approach to 24/7CFE
Supporting a phased, advanced response to decarbonization targets by utilizing storage batteries and other means.
◼️ Future Outlook
Through this alliance, both companies will evolve renewable energy introduction from “procurement measures” to “management strategy,” supporting both the strengthening of corporate competitiveness and decarbonization.
◼️ Company Overview
Clean Energy Connect Inc.
Clean Energy Connect is a company that provides speedy and flexible one-stop green power solutions for decarbonization management companies and RE100 participating companies, from planning and execution support for optimal green power introduction to post-introduction effect verification and goal achievement.
