NTT Smile Energy, which is advancing efforts toward achieving a "cheerful energy society," has introduced a new power service to "select and utilize electric power produced from an area associated with the customer," which is now offered by Minna-denryoku for the first time in Japan under the name "Gakko Oen Denki," a power service for supporting one's old school.

Based on the concept of "providing support by purchasing electric power generated by one's old school," "Gakko Oen Denki" leases systems to be installed on the rooftop of elementary and junior high schools with the aim to spread the use of solar power, a renewable energy source. Power generated from these systems is sold as part of the service menu offered by Minna-denryoku, an electricity retailer, while NTT Smile Energy offers a platform for measuring the amount of electricity generated.

Key Features of "Gakko Oen Denki"

  • 1. Money is given back to their old school in the form of financial aids when consumers purchase electricity through this service.
  • 2. In addition to such financial aids, schools and local government bodies can also expect income from the charges for installing the photovoltaic power generation systems at their premises, which can be allocated for renovation of their facilities.
*This service allows "Gakko Oen Denki" to be used as a stand-alone power supply for the evacuation center in the event of a disaster.

A new power concept, "Gakko Oen Denki" allows consumers to be connected with a specific power station based on their selection and offers a "clearly visible power service" that creates new values through the distribution of renewable energy.

Through establishing a "Smiling" brand that offers services for adding new values, NTT Smile Energy aims to create a society where children can live in happily through the widespread use of solar energy and other sources of "renewable energy."

In the past, NTT Smile Energy has been engaging in efforts to promote the widespread adoption of solar power generation systems and reduction of CO2 emission through "Eco Megane," a solar power generation remote monitoring service.
A new "Free Photovoltaic System Installation Project" and the "Gakko Oen Denki" service have now been launched for schools and other public facilities owned by the local government.
This endeavor is well received by many local government bodies as it allows them to produce renewable energy locally for local consumption with ease and helps to create economic value through financial aids.
We will strive to involve a greater number of local government bodies and develop it into a business that contributes environmentally to the local community.
