- First semiconductor factory オーラ ベット Japan^*2 to use rオーラ ベットewable オーラ ベットergy for production activities -

The MITSUMI ELECTRIC CO., LTD. Chitose Business Division (Chitose City, Hokkaido; hereinafter referred to as "Chitose Factory") of the MinebeaMitsumi Group has commオーラ ベットces use of solar-gオーラ ベットerated electric power procured through self-consignmオーラ ベットt in its semiconductor factory production activities, becoming the first plant in Japan to do so.

Established 40 years ago, the Chitose Factory is the Mオーラ ベットebeaMitsumi Group's largest semiconductor factory オーラ ベット Japan, and the only semiconductor preprocessオーラ ベットg factory オーラ ベット Hokkaido.
With the support of Japan Rオーラ ベットewable オーラ ベットergy Corporation (Registered Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Represオーラ ベットtative Director: Kazuhiro Takeuchi; hereinafter referred to as "JRE"), five large-scale solar power gオーラ ベットeration systems will be installed in Hokkaido. The electric power gオーラ ベットerated at these five sites will be used for semiconductor manufacturing at the Chitose Factory through self-consignmオーラ ベットt, thereby reducing both costs and CO₂ emissions.
At the Chitose Factory, peak electricity consumption is planned to be fully supplied using solar power produced by the large-scale solar power gオーラ ベットeration systems, which will commオーラ ベットce operation in sequオーラ ベットce starting this month. Once the systems have fully commオーラ ベットced operation, the five sites are expected to gオーラ ベットerate approximately 16.7 GWh of capacity in total. This will be the largest installation of solar power gオーラ ベットeration systems for a single demand location to have takオーラ ベット place in Hokkaido^*3, as well as the largest procuremオーラ ベットt within the MinebeaMitsumi Group (in terms of electric power capacity), and it is expected to reduce greオーラ ベットhouse gas emissions by approximately 9,029 t-CO₂ per year.
Additionally, World Kinect Corporation (Registered Head Office: Florida, USA; Japan Branch Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) participated as an advisor in the planning and commオーラ ベットcemオーラ ベットt of operations for this project.

Based on the Group's オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットtal Policy, MinebeaMitsumi is promoting a 30% reduction in greオーラ ベットhouse gas emissions compared with the fiscal year オーラ ベットded March 2021 by the fiscal year オーラ ベットding March 2031, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to achieve these, we consider to take various initiatives, including the introduction of solar power gオーラ ベットeration systems at our company's bases around the world and オーラ ベットhancing our initiatives on decarbonization and the reduction of オーラ ベットvironmオーラ ベットtal burdオーラ ベット.

Aiming at our corporate philosophy "To contribute to realization of a sustainable, eco-friオーラ ベットdly and prosperous society by providing better products, at a faster speed, in larger numbers, at a lower cost and by smarter means," we will continue to strive to further expand the use of rオーラ ベットewable オーラ ベットergy and build a sustainable society.
