Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has established Japan Semiconductor Corporation as the first domestic semiconductor manufacturing base of the Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Group. We will introduce an on-site PPA Note 1 model at the Oita Works . Operations are scheduled to start in April 2024.
Toshiba Group has established “Toshiba Environmental Vision 2050” based on the recognition that climate change countermeasures are an important responsibility that companies should take. We are promoting the expansion of the use of renewable energy in order to promote carbon neutrality at each group site, and this is a part of that.
Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation will supply the on-site self-consumption solar power generation equipment to be installed at Japan Semiconductor’s Oita Plant. The amount of power generated is expected to be approximately 5.83 million kWh/year, all of which will be consumed at the site. The carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction effect is expected to be 2,793 tons/year, equivalent to approximately 2.1% of the power consumption of the entire plant (FY2021). This will be the largest solar module installed on the same site in the Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Group.
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage is committed to achieving 100% renewable energy usage at all domestic semiconductor manufacturing sites by FY2030. In addition, the same office plans to use 100% renewable . By combining this with the operation of the solar power generation facility that is scheduled to be introduced this time, we will strive for the best mix of renewable energy methods.

Note 1: PPA: Abbreviation for Power Purchase Agreement. A form of contract in which power consumers purchase renewable energy directly from power generators. In the on-site PPA model, power generation facilities are installed using space such as the premises and roofs of power consumers.
Note 2: Expected to achieve virtually 100% renewable energy using environmental value certificates for electricity derived from hydropower, geothermal power, solar power, and other renewable energy sources that emit zero CO2 .
