Solar power generation
As an initiative for power generation from renewable energy, we established a solar power plant on the land where a factory used to stand in Date City, Fukushima Prefecture.
We will keep adopting power generation from renewable energy, such as water power and solar power, by utilizing the experience of in-house power generation.
