Participation in Examination of Feasibility of Solar and Wind Power Generation Project in Tahara City, Aichi Prefecture

Based on a request from Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. has decided to participate, with six other companies with expertise and experience in areas including technologies, products, and business operation relating to the fields of solar and wind power generation, in examining the feasibility of a plan for the construction of Japan's largest solar and wind power facility in Tahara City, Aichi Prefecture.

We expect that our involvement in reviewing this project plan will enable us to gain new technological expertise in solar and wind power hybrid generation, given that this will be the largest such project ever mounted in Japan. In addition, by cooperating in enhancing the feasibility of the project and in its realization by making use of the expertise gained through our own mega-solar developments, we will contribute to the spread of renewable energies.
