JERA Group to Supply Environmental Value to Google Data Center2025/09/24

We hereby announce that JERA Co., Inc. (“JERA”) subsidiary JERA Cross Co., Inc. (“JERA Cross”) has decided on August 20, 2025, to supply environmental value to Google data center through a solar virtual power purchase agreement (“PPA”).

Acting as the aggregator, JERA Cross will bundle electricity and environmental value with additionality¹ generated by a total of 15MWac in solar power facilities to be developed by West Holdings Corporation. This environmental value will be supplied through JERA Cross to Google’s data center in Inzai, Chiba Prefecture by March 2027.

JERA and JERA Cross aim to create new value by working with clients to address their challenges. We provide corporate solutions services that leverage our fuel- and power generation-related assets and expertise as well as digital technologies. JERA Cross, as its clients’ GX (green transformation) partner, provides end-to-end support from formulating roadmaps and strategies that transform decarbonization from a cost to a value to developing and supplying renewable energy and providing advanced hourly matching technology that makes possible the supply of 24/7 carbon-free energy², working together as a one-stop solutions partner to solve customer issues, transform client businesses, and reduce CO₂ emissions.

JERA Group, through activities like supplying environmental value to Google data centers, will continue to promote the use of renewable energy and advance initiatives aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and a sustainable society.

¹      A new increase in the world’s renewable energy facilities due to the purchase of renewable power or non-fossil certificates. Effects include promoting investment in new renewable energy facilities and contributing to the replacement of fossil fuels, decarbonization, and suppression of global warming.

²     ”24/7 carbon-free energy” refers to electricity that emits no CO₂ twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. In accordance with the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry’s “Guidelines for Retail Sales of Electricity,” this means that 100% of electricity demand is supplied through a mix of zero-CO₂ emission power sources (renewable energy generation facilities and hydrogen power generation facilities) together with environmental value derived from the use of non-fossil certificates; it does not mean that no CO₂ is emitted across the fuel lifecycle including production and transportation.
