Enerbank Co., Ltd. (Co-founders and Representative Directors: Shogo Sato, Kenichi Muranaka; Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) has partnered with Gifu Prefecture to begin recruiting participants from May 11, 2026, for the Gifu Prefecture Renewable Energy Joint Purchase Project. This project targets demand-side consumers planning to start electricity supply from April 2027.

The project utilizes the electricity reverse auction "Eneoku" to support the procurement of renewable energy-derived electricity, which can be used to comply with the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures and the Energy Conservation Act, as well as international environmental goals and reporting systems like SBT, CDP, and RE100.

* **Outline of Gifu Prefecture Renewable Energy Joint Purchase Project**

This project adopts a mechanism where multiple businesses jointly purchase electricity, generating scale benefits compared to individual purchases, and enabling the introduction of renewable energy at a lower cost. In collaboration with Gifu Prefecture, we aim to achieve regional decarbonization and a decarbonized society by 2050.

* **Comment from Gifu Prefecture**

Gifu Prefecture is committed to promoting renewable energy, such as solar and hydro power, to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Switching to renewable energy electricity leads to reduced CO2 emissions and improved corporate image due to environmental considerations. We encourage all businesses to consider this opportunity.

* **Achievements of Last Year's Renewable Energy Joint Purchase Project**

In the Gifu Prefecture Renewable Energy Joint Purchase Project conducted in FY2025, participating businesses selected plans with renewable energy ratios ranging from 30% to 100%, successfully implementing renewable energy electricity. The average cost reduction rate for businesses that switched to renewable energy electricity was 25.1% for high-voltage and 8.1% for low-voltage, achieving both electricity cost suppression and renewable energy adoption.

*These are auction results for FY2025 and do not guarantee reductions for FY2026.

--- Benefits of Participation ---

**Cost Reduction:** Joint purchasing allows multiple businesses to collectively purchase electricity, creating scale benefits and potentially reducing the cost of introducing renewable energy compared to individual negotiations with retail electricity providers.

**Environmental Consideration:** By choosing renewable energy, which emits no greenhouse gases, businesses can contribute to environmental protection.

**Enhanced Corporate Value:** It also contributes to improving the corporate image by demonstrating environmental consideration. Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and building a sustainable management model can strengthen competitiveness.

**DX of Electricity Procurement:** All procedures are completed online, making it easy for anyone to switch to renewable energy electricity. Enerbank also supports complex electricity menu selection, leading to improved operational efficiency.
