Strengthening Community Resilience Through Disaster Response Initiatives
On August 6, 2026, a significant step was taken towards bolstering regional disaster resilience in Kamashi City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Remix Point Co., Ltd. (Securities Code: 3825), represented by CEO Yoshihiko Takahashi, and Nippon Chikudenchi Co., Ltd., led by President Shuichi Urushihara, held a formal signing ceremony with the city. The agreement aims to leverage the "NC-Kuchiharukyu Battery Storage Station," a facility developed through a privately funded joint venture, to enhance local disaster preparedness and ensure continuity of services for residents.
During this ceremony, the two companies donated ten portable batteries to the city as part of their commitment to improving disaster preparedness. The initiative underscores the companies' dedication to utilizing the battery storage station to stabilize power supply in non-emergency conditions and to serve as a critical energy source for the community in times of crisis.
Collaboration for Enhanced Local Resilience
The newly formed agreement emphasizes collaboration between Kamashi City and the two companies, establishing a robust framework for power supply assistance during emergencies. This partnership aims to not only strengthen local disaster response systems but also improve overall city services for its citizens.
The subsequent development of the battery storage facilities is a key facet of this initiative, as part of the companies' broader goal to develop a total of 32 high-voltage battery storage stations by the end of fiscal year 2029, with at least 20 of those owned by Remix Point itself. Currently, the company operates ten such facilities, and this new agreement represents a third location dedicated to disaster response partnerships.
Innovative Uses of Battery Storage During Emergencies
The NC-Kuchiharukyu Battery Storage Station is equipped with external outlets, allowing qualified personnel to manage on-site operations during emergencies. This setup enables the stored electricity to be distributed for essential purposes, such as charging portable batteries and smartphones. Through this mechanism, the station can deliver power to critical areas like disaster response headquarters and evacuation centers, thus ensuring the maintenance of vital functions during disasters.
In practical terms, a typical household of two people requires about 17 kWh (approximately 5.6 kWh per day) over a 72-hour period during emergencies. The NC-Kuchiharukyu Battery Storage Station, with a rated capacity of approximately 8 MWh (8,146 kWh), has the potential to supply sufficient electricity for around 470 households over the same timeframe, underlining the facility's role as a crucial aspect of regional infrastructure in disaster scenarios.
A Dual Perspective on Energy Infrastructure
Remix Point envisions its battery storage facilities not only as revenue-generating energy infrastructure but also as essential components of social infrastructure for disaster prevention. Moving forward, the company is committed to fostering collaboration with local governments to tackle societal challenges while enhancing corporate value.
