EnaBank Collaborates with Kiyose City for a Sustainable Future

EnaBank, co-founded by Sho-go Sato and Ken-ichi Muranaka, has recently entered into an agreement with Kiyose City, led by Mayor Keiji Shibuya, to envisage a renewable energy-driven future. The purpose of this partnership is to encourage the integration of renewable energy in various sectors, particularly for businesses operating within the city. By leveraging EnaBank’s digital solutions, including the power reverse auction service “Eneoku” and the environmental value trading service “Green Ticket”, the project aims to facilitate a significant shift toward renewable energy sources.

Key Details of the Agreement

In alignment with Kiyose City’s Zero Carbon City initiative, EnaBank and the city have signed a cooperation agreement on November 21, 2025, with primary goals to:

1. Support Kiyose City businesses in procuring renewable energy through the Eneoku platform and acquiring non-fossil certificates.
2. Collaborate on the examination and execution of reverse auction processes for renewable energy procurement in public facilities.
3. Collect and share information pertinent to renewable energy.

EnaBank doesn’t plan to stop at supporting local businesses; they aim to extend their efforts to neighboring entities to further promote renewable energy procurement. Regular collaboration with Kiyose City will also include the “Greater Tokyo Area Joint Purchase Project” to maximize the initiative’s impact.

Project Insights

A shining example of this initiative is seen in businesses that have successfully transitioned to 100% renewable energy, achieving considerable reductions in power costs—averaging 18.4% for high-pressure contracts and 13.7% for low-pressure contracts.

Though renewable energy typically presents a higher upfront cost, the reverse auction mechanism of Eneoku allows businesses to bid and acquire competitive pricing by witnessing other bids, ensuring they can secure renewable energy supplies at reasonable costs.

Advantages of Participating in the Joint Purchase Project

• - Cost Savings: By pooling resources through joint purchasing, multiple businesses can achieve significant cost reductions compared to negotiating separately with retail electricity providers.
• - Environmental Responsibility: Opting for non-polluting renewable energy helps businesses contribute to environmental sustainability.
• - Enhanced Corporate Image: Companies that focus on sustainability can improve their public image, fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments, ultimately strengthening their market competitiveness.
• - Streamlined Processes: Transitioning to renewable energy is made easy by having all processes handled online, supporting efficiency in operations. EnaBank provides assistance in navigating the complexities of energy selections, making this shift simpler.
• - Reliability: The backing of the municipal government assures participants of the project's credibility and stability.

Through the utilization of EnaBank's digital solutions, businesses can not only reduce carbon footprints but also realize cost efficiencies while embracing digital transformation in their energy procurement processes. Business owners are highly encouraged to consider participating in this groundbreaking project to contribute to a sustainable future.
