Hitachi Zosen Corporation will supply 100% renewable energy to the main government building of the city hall and the water and sewage bureau government building of Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture from September 2021.
Itami City has been promoting the renewable energy and energy conservation to realize a carbon-free society. As part of those efforts, it will switch the power at the above buildings to 100% renewable energy. Itami is the first city in Hyogo Prefecture that will switch the power used at the city hall main government building to 100% renewable energy. It is expected to reduce greenhouse gases from the two facilities by 712 tons in total, which is equivalent to about 3% of the greenhouse gases emitted from the whole public facilities in Itami City.
