Mitsubishi Corporation, NTT, and Kyushu Electric Power have agreed to promote a business that effectively utilizes the power generated by solar power in storage batteries.
As the maximum introduction of renewable energy is required for the realization of a carbon-free society in 2050, major companies have decided to collaborate in efforts that will lead to the expansion of solar power generation.
According to the people concerned, Mitsubishi Corporation, NTT and Kyushu Electric Power have agreed to jointly promote a business to effectively utilize the surplus electricity generated by solar power.
Specifically, a system that centrally manages electricity generated by solar power generation in the Kyushu Electric Power jurisdiction for storage batteries installed at Lawson and NTT telephone offices, which have more than 1000 stores in Kyushu in the Mitsubishi Corporation group. make.
Then, the electricity stored in the storage battery is supplied to businesses and homes as needed, and used for charging services for electric vehicles.
In Kyushu, the sunshine conditions are good, and when the amount of power generated by solar power increases too much, "output control" is performed to temporarily stop the power generation, making it difficult to create a new power generation facility, but it is because of the storage battery. If a mechanism to utilize it is established, it will lead to further expansion of solar power generation.
While the maximum introduction of renewable energy is required for the realization of a carbon-free society in 2050, the three companies will work together to support the spread of solar power generation, etc., and also aim to dig up new businesses. It seems that.
