Power Development
We develop and operate power plants using a variety of energy sources, including renewable energy sources such as solar, biomass, wind, and geothermal *, as well as highly competitive natural gas-fired power plants. The Idemitsu Kosan Group's history with renewable energy began in the 1970s, when we sought alternative energy sources to oil following the oil shocks. Through the changing times, we now position renewable energy as an important source of energy toward the realization of carbon neutrality society, and are working to popularize and expand it both domestically and overseas.
