TIS Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yasushi Okamoto), a member of the TIS INTEC Group, announced the launch of its 'Corporate PPA Billing Service' on April 22, 2026. This new addition to the 'EneLink' series is designed to streamline electricity billing operations for retailers engaged in Corporate PPAs.
A Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract where corporations or municipalities purchase renewable energy directly from power retailers or generators. As the demand for decarbonized management grows, Corporate PPAs are gaining attention as a way to secure stable-cost renewable energy. The market is projected to reach approximately 370 billion yen by 2040.
Currently, many retailers calculate these complex fees manually using Excel, leading to risks of dependency on specific personnel and billing errors. TIS's new service addresses these issues by offering a SaaS-based solution that integrates with Customer Information Systems (CIS) while minimizing the need for extensive system modifications.
Key features of the service include:
1. Specialized PPA Billing: Efficiently handles performance data import and diverse allocation methods (usage-based, contracted power, etc.).
2. Minimal System Impact: As a SaaS model, it can be implemented independently from existing CIS, with a setup time as short as three months and initial costs starting from 0 yen.
3. Assessment Services: An optional paid service to verify calculation accuracy against current regulations before full implementation.
4. High-Volume Processing: Capable of handling hundreds to thousands of supply points across multiple power plants.
By integrating this with TIS's 'Power CIS and Retail Core Business Solution,' companies can achieve overall efficiency in their power retail operations.
