Minna Denryoku, a 100% renewable energy service operated by UPDATER, Inc., which aims to update society through lifestyle changes, will launch a 'Renewable Energy Switching Campaign' in Setagaya Ward and Hino City starting June 1, 2026, in collaboration with their renewable energy support policies. A similar initiative has been underway in Musashino City since April 1, 2026. This program partners with local government support systems to reduce the economic burden of adopting renewable energy through 'automatic electricity bill discounts' or 'subsidy grants' when switching to renewable energy plans. Amid ongoing electricity price hikes, this campaign uses economic benefits as an entry point to encourage the transition to renewable energy. Additionally, Minna Denryoku allows for further discounts when combined with the 'Min-Tomo Wari' referral program. Furthermore, the company offers multifaceted value beyond just bill discounts, such as a system to receive local specialties by supporting power plants, stable electricity usage less affected by market prices through the individual PPA 'Peepa,' and reduced real costs via electricity points linked to the hometown tax donation system (Furusato Nozei).
