- Green Denki: Introduction of Carbon-Free Electricity
- Since December 9, 2024, our Tajimi Office has used “Green Denki” – carbon-free electricity provided by Chubu Electric Power Miraiz. Combined with the power generation from existing solar panels, the Tajimi Office will now be completely powered by renewable energy. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is vital for minimizing the impact of climate change and CMC will continue to play its part in addressing this issue.
- Chubu Electric Power Miraiz uses non-fossil fuel certificates, which verify that electricity was generated from renewable energy sources, such as solar power, to supply environmentally friendly electricity. In practice, this means that the electricity provided is effectively 100% generated from renewable energy
and produces zero carbon emissions.
What is “Green Denki”?
Note: Chubu Electric Power Miraiz is the retail supplier of Green Denki electricity.
