Digital Grid Inc. (hereinafter "Digital Grid") and Toda Corporation (hereinafter "Toda Corporation") are pleased to announce that they have completed the procurement of electricity (equivalent to 400kW) for Toda Corporation for the period from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027, utilizing the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM).
To stabilize electricity costs, Toda Corporation adopted a procurement method leveraging the electricity futures market through the Digital Grid Platform (DGP)*.
By pre-procuring one year's worth of electricity in February 2026 using the electricity futures market, the company successfully suppressed fluctuations in electricity bills and mitigated the impact of rising fuel prices and soaring prices on the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) caused by escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Regarding Middle East Tensions and Electricity Prices
Prices on the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) tend to be heavily influenced by highly volatile "spot LNG prices," and the wholesale electricity market is subject to fluctuations due to sudden changes in the prices of LNG and crude oil caused by the situation in the Middle East.
In this instance, Digital Grid proposed a service to procure electricity by specifying a desired price in the futures market as a way to "timely control costs even in situations of intense price volatility" at the end of February, before price fluctuations due to Middle East tensions intensified, which Toda Corporation adopted.
Digital Grid will continue to provide diverse services as a pioneer in the future of energy, working toward a sustainable society free from energy constraints.
Toda Corporation will continue to promote initiatives toward cost stabilization and the realization of a decarbonized society through the diversification of its electricity procurement methods.
