The Green Energy Certificate system operates by means of certifying the environmental value of ESR’s self-generated solar energy by Japan Quality Assurance Organisation (JQA), coupled with trading of Green Energy Certificates issued by Enerbank, a national licence-holding issuer of Green Energy Certificates.
ESR Group is partnering with Enerbank, one of the major green certificate operators in Japan, to participate in the Green Energy Certificate system. Through this system, ESR’s self-generated solar power energy from its logistics facilities is now recognised as a renewable power energy source that is fed into the power grid in Japan, and providing an alternative option for companies and communities in Japan to validate their renewable energy contribution with Green Energy Certificates issued by Enerbank.
As a result, the solar panel energy from ESR’s facilities that is supplied onsite to its tenants and customers can now be channeled into their utility companies’ power grid system for the benefit of others. In addition, ESR’s self-generated energy can be accounted and certified through the Green Energy Certificates issued to the businesses and communities to lower their carbon footprint.
