Sustainability

Promotion of wind power generation business

We have constructed six small wind turbines, three in Tomamae Town, Hokkaido and three in Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture.
We started electricity sales in December 2022 in Tomamae Town, Hokkaido and in mid-February 2023 in Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture. We plan to operate the electricity sales business for a period of 20 years.

Promotion of solar power generation business

We started the operation of a large-scale solar power plant, “Nakano Corporation Higashimatsuyama Mega Solar” in August 2015. This plant was being constructed on the site of a former equipment center in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture. 6,192 solar panels are lined up on the 26,000 m2 site, with a maximum power output of approximately 1,500 kWh. The amount of electricity generated, solar radiation, temperature, etc. are automatically measured and remotely monitored through a dedicated monitor installed at the head office.

Promotion of ZEB (Net Zero Energy Buildings)

ZEB PLANNER

We are registered as a ZEB Planner in the "Net Zero Energy Building (ZEB) Demonstration Project" conducted by the Sustainable open Innovation Initiative since May 2021.
As a ZEB Planner, we are able to respond to inquiries from building owners regarding ZEB and receive orders for ZEB design and design/construction work. We will work to promote and realize ZEB initiatives, aiming to have ZEB account for more than 50% of the building design and construction orders we will receive by 2025.
Our head office building, NF Kudan, was completed at the end of January 2022 and has received ZEB Ready approval. We are working toward decarbonization in our offices.
