Supporting SMEs with Energy Costs in Winter

In an effort to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Japan, Japan Electric Power Procurement Solutions is launching the "Winter Energy Cost Reduction Campaign" on November 1. Tailored primarily for businesses in the Kanto region, this initiative focuses on helping companies transition from potentially costly final guaranteed supply contracts to more affordable and reliable energy plans.

This campaign presents an opportunity for SMEs to undergo a free energy contract assessment. By switching energy providers within November, businesses can complete the transition by December and start the new year with lower utility bills. It’s estimated that these changes can result in savings of at least 20%, significantly easing the financial burden on companies, especially during the expensive winter months.

Moreover, Japan Electric Power Procurement Solutions will distribute a digital version of an energy-saving points booklet, encouraging managers and staff to collectively implement energy-saving strategies. This cooperative approach ensures that all members of an organization are invested in minimizing energy consumption and reducing costs.

Background of the Campaign

Since the liberalization of the electricity market, many businesses have switched to new power sources. However, there are still numerous cases where contracts are not adequately reviewed. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, there are over 2,000 existing final guaranteed supply contracts across Japan. These contracts are often more expensive compared to standard agreements, impacting the financial health of various businesses.

Particularly in industries with high electricity usage, such as hospitals, welfare facilities, restaurants, and manufacturing, simply reviewing contracts can lead to monthly savings of tens of thousands of yen. The winter season, characterized by increased heating needs, is a critical time for companies to reassess their electricity costs. This campaign aims to alleviate financial pressure on local businesses, promoting sustainable operations.
