Participation in the Netherlands Offshore Wind Power Project 2024年02月02日 06時00分

Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (“Chubu”) has decided to participate in Hollandse Kust West (“HKW”) Site VI offshore wind power project (“Project”) located approximately 53km off the northwest coast of the Netherlands, which is being developed by Shell plc (“Shell”) and N.V. Eneco (“Eneco”), and has entered into an agreement with Eneco to obtain 30% of equity shares of Ecowende C.V. (“Project Company”), the operating company of the Project. For Chubu, this is the first time to directly invest in an offshore wind power project outside Japan. In December 2022, the consortium between Shell and Eneco acquired the concession right to operate the Project through public tender. The Project Company is planning to construct an offshore wind farm, which can supply 760MW to the Dutch power grid, and will start its commercial operation in 2026. This Project will implement various measures to promote harmony with marine ecosystems. Hiroki Sato, Senior Managing Executive Officer and Division CEO of Global Business at Chubu, commented: “This is a significant step for us to enhance our partnership with Eneco and Shell. The main concept of this Project is Ecological Innovation, which is the first one for offshore wind farm in the world. Thanks to this concept, Ecowende will build and operate the wind farm with minimal impact on the environment and protected species. I am convinced that the concept of Ecological Innovation will become mainstream globally in the near future, including Japan and Asia.” As Tempelman, President & CEO at Eneco, stated that: “I am very pleased with Chubu’s participation in Ecowende. Our strategic partnership is much valued, and this arrangement will intensify our collaboration in the offshore wind business. Furthermore, the divestment proceeds will enable us to make new investments in renewable energy assets as part of our One Planet Plan, with the goal of becoming a climate neutral energy company in 2035”. By participating in the Project directly, Chubu expects to acquire experience in the offshore wind power business from the beginning of the construction all the way to operation, as well as knowledge of Ecological Innovation. Chubu intends to apply the experience and knowledge gained through this Project to offshore wind farm projects in Japan and other countries. In Chubu’s global business, we will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society and further increase earnings by building an optimal portfolio that combines the segments of (i) “Green Field” centered on renewable energy, (ii) “Blue Field” in relation to decarbonization, (iii) “Retail, power transmission and distribution, and new services” and (iv) “Frontier Field”. 【Summary of the Project】 Location Approx. 53 kilometers off the northwest coast of the Netherlands Grid capacity 760MW Schedule 2024: Start of construction 2026: Start of commercial operation Shareholding company(Note) Shell (60%), Chubu (30%), Eneco (10%) (Note)After participation by Chubu Project Site Image of the Offshore Wind Farm ⓒEcowende C.V., All rights reserved.

Measures to reduce burden of electricity and other costs in… 2024年01月31日 06時40分

Although the business environment for the Chubu Electric Power Group remains uncertain, in light of low fuel prices and group-wide management efforts, the Group has decided today to implement measures to reduce electricity rates and other burdens by approximately 130 billion yen in FY2024, the same amount as in FY2023. 1. Measures to reduce electricity rates for extra high-voltage and high-voltage customers (continued) For electricity rates in FY2024, all extra high-voltage and high-voltage customers in the Chubu area will receive a discount of 1.74 yen per kWh (Note 1) from the fuel cost adjustment unit price for the full year. This discount will reduce customers’ burden by approximately 5.2 to 7.2% (Note 2). The scale of implementation is expected to be approximately 120 billion yen, which is the same level as the burden reduction measures in FY2023. (Note 1) In FY2023, 2.09 yen per kWh is discounted for 10 months (from June 2023 to March 2024) (Note 2) Calculated based on the fuel cost adjustment unit price applicable in March 2024 2. Measures to reduce burden for low-voltage customers We will reduce the burden of electricity bills on mainly household customers, conduct campaigns to support the customers with life stage changes, and promote the customers’ use of renewable energy. The scale of implementation is expected to be approximately 8 billion yen, the same as the burden reduction measures in FY2023. (1) Discounts on electricity rates for households with children or elderly residents, and for customers who have moved and newly signed a contract (continued and new) Following this winter, the electricity rates in the three-month period from July to September 2024 (for use from June to August) will get a 10% discount on households with children and elderly residents so that they can use air conditioning and other home appliances with less anxiety during the summer months when electricity consumption becomes high. In addition, in order to support customers who are moving for new employment or job transfer and facing increased burdens in their new lives, the customers who newly sign a contract by May 31, 2024, will also be eligible for the discount. The customers who have applied for "Support for Winter Lifestyle! 10% discount on electricity rates (Note 3)" in FY2023, will automatically be applied. (Note 3) A campaign offering a 10% discount on electricity rates for two months in January and February 2024 (for use in December 2023 and January 2024) for customers in households with children 22 years old or younger or elderly persons 65 years old or older. (2) Free offering of "cancer insurance" and "nursing care insurance" for one year (new) In order to provide customers with peace of mind for every stage of life, we offer cancer insurance to customers aged 20 to 49 and nursing care insurance to customers aged 50 to 79 for one year free. The target customers are those who subscribe to the electricity rate menu with Chubu Electric Power Miraiz. After April 2024, a direct mail with an application form attached will be sent as soon as it is ready. (3) Initiatives to promote renewable energy use (continued and new) To promote the creation and effective use of renewable energy, Chubu Electric Power Miraiz will offer gift cards to customers who contract for solar power generation equipment or storage batteries through KatEne Lease. We will also implement an initiative to use electricity wisely and economically in accordance with the amount of electricity generated from renewable energy sources by utilizing the Demand Response (DR) service, NACHARGE.In addition, to ensure that customers can use EVs, which are becoming more popular to achieve decarbonization, without worrying, we will provide new support for the development of EV charging infrastructure, including subsidies for the installation of EV charging equipment at customers' homes and commercial facilities. Details on how to apply for each campaign will be announced in due course from February 2024 onward. We will continue to consider further campaigns to support our customers' lives and new lifestyles. The Chubu Electric Power Group will strive for further management efficiency and the development and provision of attractive services to meet customer needs, together with the stable delivery of electricity to our customers.

Assisting Intervention in Shareholders’ Derivative Lawsuit 2023年12月26日 08時30分

Chubu Electric Power today received a lawsuit notice that four individual shareholders of the company (“the plaintiff”) filed a shareholders’ derivative lawsuit for damages (“the lawsuit”) against a total of 14 current and former directors of the company (“the defendant”). (Press release issued on December 26, 2023) Today, the company decided to make an assisting intervention for the defendant in the lawsuit, and obtained the approval of all corporate auditors. Details are provided below. 1. Reason for the assisting intervention Chubu Electric Power has made no agreement with The Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. that restricts business activities, and there exists differences in fact-finding and legal interpretation with the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC). The company has thus filed a revocation action (Press release issued on September 25, 2023), and has judged that the plaintiff's claim premised on the JFTC’s finding is groundless. The company has judged that it needs to appropriately counter the plaintiff’s claims by getting involved in the proceedings of the lawsuit as an assisting intervenor, and demand a fair judicial decision. 2. Future response Announcements will be made promptly in the wake of any additional matters that should be disclosed as to this lawsuit.

Objective of the transition Chubu Electric Power is committed to delivering safe, affordable, and stable energy with consideration for the global environment, and contributing to the sustainable development of local communities and society by creating new value that enriches the lives of customers. Aiming to become a corporate group that continues to grow with customers and society, Chubu Electric Power has also endeavored to enhance its corporate governance. Amid a drastic change in the environment surrounding Chubu Electric Power, balancing agile decision-making and a higher level of governance is taking on greater importance. Achieving this would require a further separation between the business execution and supervision fronts. Transitioning to a company with an audit and supervisory committee will allow for a significant and flexible delegation of business execution authority from the Board of Directors to the directors, and this is expected to enhance the agility and speed of decision-making related to business execution. At the same time, the transition will allow for strengthening the Board of Directors’ focused reviews on management policies and strategy establishments, as well as the function of supervising business execution. Moreover, audit and supervisory committee members gaining a voting right on the Board of Directors would further strengthen the effectiveness of auditing and supervisory functions. 2. Timing of the transition The transition is planned to be made after obtaining an approval on a required amendment of articles of association in the 100th General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to be hosted in June 2024. 3. Others The details of the amendment to the articles of association and personnel of executive officers, related to the transition to a company with an audit and supervisory committee, will be announced as soon as they are decided.

Development of AI-based Hydropower Planning Support System … 2023年12月15日 06時00分

Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (President & Director: Kingo Hayashi; "Chubu Electric Power") and TSUNAGU Community Analytics Co., Inc. (President: Osamu Kuribayashi; "TCA") have developed a system that uses AI to support optimal power generation planning at hydroelectric power plants and yesterday jointly filed a patent application for the AIs incorporated in the system. Chubu Electric Power is working to increase power generation from existing power sources as well as developing new power sources in order to realize a decarbonized society. For hydroelectric power generation, Chubu Electric Power aims to maximize power generation by improving the accuracy of forecasting water inflow into dams through the promotion of DX and by operating with an optimal power generation plan. In addition, power generation plans for hydroelectric power plants have been currently prepared by skilled employees, who spend about half a day based on their experience and know-how, causing issues to improve operational efficiency and train younger employees. The system enables to simultaneously optimize the power generation operations of multiple hydroelectric power plants where water flows in and out of different rivers, which consists of the three AIs listed below. (1) Inflow Forecasting AI: Predicts the amount of water inflow into the dam based on the next day's forecast rainfall. (2) Historical Search AI: Searches for past power generation plans under similar conditions based on conditions such as dam water levels and available water volume on the following day. (3) Optimization Calculation AI: Creates power generation plans based on conditions such as predicted inflow at each dam, dam water levels, and power generation operation constraints to meet objectives such as maximum power generation and maximum power sales. Chubu Electric Power and TCA have together conducted the verification at hydroelectric power plants under Chubu Electric Power's service area in the Hida River system, which has a particularly complex configuration, from April 2021. As a result, it is confirmed an annual power increase of approximately 2% (up to approximately 30 million kWh/year for the entire water system, equivalent to the annual power consumption of approximately 10,000 standard households) can be expected through operation based on the power generation plan formulated using the system. It is also possible to reduce the time required to develop power generation plans to less than a quarter of the conventional time by utilizing the system, significantly improving efficiency. Furthermore, the system will enable the training of young employees, which until now has mainly involved on-the-job training, to acquire skills in a short period of time through simulations using the system. Starting with full-scale operation in the Hida River system in FY2024, the two companies will continue to introduce the system into other water systems, thereby contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society by continuously working to increase the amount of electricity generated by hydropower without emitting CO2.

Kasugai City and Chubu Electric Power Launch Demonstration … 2023年12月06日 02時00分

Kasugai City (Mayor: Naoki Ishiguro) and Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (President & Director: Kingo Hayashi; "Chubu Electric Power") will conduct a demonstration test on preventing sewage overflows caused by blockages in sewer pipes ("the demonstration") based on the "Cooperative Agreement on the Use of ICT to Solve Local Issues" ("the agreement"), which was signed in November 2019. The demonstration has started today. In sewerage facilities, oil and grease contained in wastewater from restaurants, factories, etc. can clog the inside of sewer pipes, reducing flow capacity and resulting overflows through manholes, which causes pollution of the surrounding environment, traffic obstructions, etc. Kasugai City requires a great deal of labor and expense for emergency restoration work in the event of an accidental overflow along with for periodic inspections and cleaning to prevent it happens. The demonstration aims to build a system that uses a float-type water level sensor installed in a manhole to detect the level of rising water inside as an indicator of overflow, and notify via the electricity smart meter communication network. Approximately 10 million electricity smart meters have been comprehensively installed in Chubu Electric Power's service area. Since the distance between the communication terminal within the sensor and the electricity smart meter is short, wireless communication between them is easy to connect. Therefore, even if a communication terminal is installed inside a manhole covered with iron lid, it is possible to notify rising water levels via wireless communication without communication cable installation.This enables remote and real-time monitoring of rising water levels in manholes without having the site inspections, saving labor and reducing costs in the maintenance and management of sewerage facilities, thereby improving services to residents by preventing overflows. The agreement will utilize Kasugai City's expertise in community development, including safety and welfare, and the Chubu Electric Power Group's expertise in smart meters and other equipment and ICT to work together to solve local issues. The two parties will continue to work together to solve social issues by combining their respective knowledge and infrastructure.
