Sinto Kogyo Concludes Agri-Photovoltaic Off-site PPA Service Agreement with Chubu Electric Power Miraiz, Commencing Use of Locally Produced and Consumed Renewable Energy
Sinto Kogyo Co., Ltd. has signed an agri-photovoltaic off-site PPA service agreement with Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Co., Inc. This initiative will enable three of Sinto Kogyo's business sites in Aichi Prefecture to use solar power, expecting an annual electricity consumption of approximately 610,000 kWh and a reduction of about 252 tons of CO2 emissions. Chubu Electric Power Miraiz will procure electricity from a solar power plant installed by Agrigascom Co., Ltd. in Toyokawa City and supply it to Sinto Kogyo's facilities for 20 years. This effort is part of Sinto Kogyo's decarbonization goals.

Sinto Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Atsushi Nagai) is accelerating its efforts towards a decarbonized society. Through an off-site physical PPA service utilizing a dedicated solar power plant, the company will use electricity at three business sites in Aichi Prefecture. This is expected to result in an annual solar power consumption of approximately 610,000 kWh and a reduction of approximately 252 (*1) tons of CO2 emissions per year.
An off-site physical PPA service is a business where electricity and environmental value generated by a renewable energy (hereinafter "RE") source installed outside the electricity user's premises are purchased as a set. In this case, Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Co., Inc. (Nagoya City) will procure electricity from a new dedicated solar power plant (panel output: approx. 500kW) to be installed by Agrigascom Co., Ltd. (Toyohashi City) in Toyokawa City, and supply it to Sinto Kogyo's "Oharu," "Ichinomiya," and "Osaki" business sites. The contract period is 20 years. This will enable long-term, stable procurement of RE-derived electricity. Furthermore, by leveraging the role of an agri-photovoltaic power plant (where crops are cultivated under solar panels), it will secure revenue for agricultural operators and realize local production for local consumption of RE by consuming electricity at Sinto Kogyo's business sites.
In addition to the above solar power generation, the company is considering introducing an agri-photovoltaic power plant (panel output: approx. 1,000kW) to further promote the use of RE-derived electricity.
Sinto Kogyo supports the "Minna de Decarbonization Project," a corporate participation initiative promoted by Chubu Electric Power Miraiz Co., Inc. to increase and effectively utilize RE, and plans to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society through the off-site physical PPA service.

With a target of a 45% reduction compared to fiscal year 2021 by 2034, the company's 100th anniversary, Sinto Kogyo is working to reduce CO2 through three activities: "Eco-Factory (energy-saving activities)," "Eco-Products and Services (proposing environmentally friendly products)," and "Eco-Logistics (logistics efficiency activities)." This agreement is part of the measures to achieve this goal, and the company will continue its efforts towards carbon neutrality.
