Digital Grid Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Yusuke Toyoda; hereinafter "the Company") supported Naniwa Foods Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Daito City, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Katsuya Moriwaki; hereinafter "Naniwa Foods") in procuring electricity for May-July 2026, with a portion at a fixed price.
While it is common to procure electricity with a portion of the price fixed on an annual basis, this initiative deliberately fixed prices for a short period, considering the situation in the Middle East. This allows Naniwa Foods to curb rapid price fluctuation risks while flexibly adapting to future market changes.
As a pioneer shaping the future of energy, the Company is committed to providing diverse services and striving to realize a sustainable society free from energy constraints.
Regarding the Middle East Situation and Electricity Prices
The prices on the Japan Electric Power Exchange (JEPX) tend to be significantly influenced by volatile "spot LNG prices." Changes in LNG and crude oil prices due to the Middle East situation cause fluctuations in the wholesale electricity market.
Naniwa Foods primarily manufactures and sells baked goods and jellies, and its manufacturing process, which involves the use of ovens, consumes a large amount of electricity. Through the Company's services, Naniwa Foods is working to reduce its electricity costs.
