i-Grid Solutions Joins the UN's 24/7 Carbon Free Energy Initiative

In a significant move towards environmental sustainability, i-Grid Solutions, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has officially joined the 24/7 Carbon Free Energy Compact, an international initiative led by the United Nations and managed by Sustainable Energy for All. This initiative aims to promote the use of 100% carbon-free electricity in real-time, providing a pivotal approach to achieving a decarbonized society.

Understanding the 24/7 Carbon Free Energy Compact

The 24/7 Carbon Free Energy (CFE) Compact is designed to unite various global entities committed to the shared goal of ensuring that electricity is not only free from carbon emissions but is also consistently accessible at every hour of the day throughout the entire year. Over 177 organizations, including federal governments of the United States, leading tech giants like Google and Microsoft, educational institutions like Stanford University, and numerous energy and financial firms, have already signed up to this impactful initiative.

The Compact is governed by five foundational principles that underscore its operational framework:
1. Time-matched procurement of carbon-free electricity
2. Local procurement from the same grid
3. Technology inclusivity in energy solutions
4. Enable new generation of energy sources
5. Maximize system impact to facilitate broader change

i-Grid's Commitment to a Sustainable Future

i-Grid Solutions has been at the forefront of advancing energy self-sufficiency rates for various enterprises and municipalities through its Green Transformation (GX) solutions. The company specializes in energy trading that circulates surplus renewable energy and has facilitated the installation of decentralized solar power systems on rooftops. Utilizing a unique predictive AI platform, i-Grid has developed a system for surplus energy distribution, allowing unused solar energy to be transferred to other facilities, thereby creating a localized energy cycle. Moreover, the company is currently conducting research into a traceability model for surplus energy at specific facilities.

With the commitment to actively participate in making the 24/7 CFE a reality, i-Grid aims to further increase the renewable energy usage rates among enterprises through its innovative business expansions. This aligns with their overarching goal of contributing to Japan's aspiration for carbon neutrality by 2050.
