Using Renewable Energy to Achieve Carbon Neutrality

Broad-Area Supply of Renewable Energies in Collaboration with Other Municipalities

Yokohama’s current potential to create renewable energies is about 10% of current electric power consumption (according to Ministry of the Environment), and in order to proceed with conversion to renewable energies, it is necessary that they be supplied from outside the city through broad-area collaboration.
Yokohama has concluded agreements on renewable energies with 12 municipalities with abundant renewable resources based on the concept of Circulating Ecological Economy.
