■ About the Special Program "Pika-tto! Kodomo Oendan"

This program highlights the initiatives of various players active primarily in the Yokohama and Kanagawa areas under the theme of "activities that support children's futures." It covers concrete actions such as "providing experiential opportunities that link nature and education," "community-based child-rearing support and welfare activities," and "creating spaces for children to express themselves and take on challenges," encouraging listeners to think about the future of their regions and children. Furthermore, the program introduces "Pika Denki" as a mechanism where "simply switching electricity providers leads to supporting children," presenting a new value system where daily life and social contribution naturally intersect.

■ "Pika Denki": Social Activity Through Simply Switching Electricity

【Key Features】

① Uses eco-friendly natural energy that is economical, benefiting both nature and households.

② Minimizes environmental impact in power generation regions and donates to local revitalization funds.

③ Donates 3,000 yen per contract per year to activities supporting children's futures (e.g., 30 million yen annually for 10,000 contracts).

【Why is this possible?】

Made possible through collective procurement

By collaborating and aggregating (bulk) contracts between power generation regions/operators and electricity-consuming regions, we can provide conditions that are difficult to achieve with individual contracts.
