The project aims to spread a "circular energy system within the city" from Todoroki Ryokuchi, where electricity generated within Kawasaki powers stadiums and arenas, connecting citizens' daily lives to the excitement of sports. This initiative is the first in Japan to supply 100% renewable energy (combining waste-to-energy and solar power) sourced from citizens to large-scale municipal sports facilities. Through this effort, all electricity used in the main Todoroki Ryokuchi facilities, equivalent to approximately 854 households, will be switched to renewable energy.
Mayor Norihiko Fukuda emphasized the enhancement of the city's value through decarbonization and expressed his commitment to continuing the expansion of decarbonization efforts in collaboration with business operators. Jun Ida, President of Kawasaki Mirai Energy, stated that they are partnering with Tokyu Power Supply to embody local energy production for local consumption.
