UPDATER Inc. (Location: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Eiji Oishi), Kakuichi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, President: Riyo Tanaka), and Koshidaka Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Hiroshi Koshitaka), which operates "Karaoke Manekineko," today, July 1st, announced the signing of a contract for a "Regionally Distributed, Locally Consumed Corporate PPA" to procure electricity by aggregating numerous low-voltage solar power plants (4.95-9.90kW class) installed on the roofs of existing containers/garages. Under this agreement, starting from August 2026, 100% renewable energy (Note 1) generated by regional solar power plants will be sequentially supplied to 41 "Karaoke Manekineko" stores across five areas: Tohoku, Hokuriku, Kansai, Chugoku, and Shikoku. By matching each store with power plants within the same region, we will promote the circulation of electricity charges within the region and realize direct procurement of distributed renewable energy, independent of large-scale power plants. The supply system, spread across 61 locations in 5 areas, possesses high resilience unique to distributed systems, capable of mutual coverage by other locations should one power generation site stop operating. This structure, not reliant on distant large-scale power plants, enhances the stability of regional power supply during disasters and power outages, leading to the formation of a robust regional energy infrastructure. Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute to the development of sustainable local communities and economic revitalization. Notably, "Karaoke Manekineko" is the first in the karaoke industry in Japan to adopt such a "Regionally Distributed, Locally Consumed Corporate PPA." (Researched by Koshidaka Co., Ltd. as of July 2026) Note 1: 100% renewable energy electricity is supplied by combining electricity from renewable energy sources with the environmental value of non-fossil certificates designated fo
