スポーツ賭け日本 July 2018 Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan Press Conference with President Katsuno

July 20, 2018
Chubu Electric Power Co.,Inc.

Today I will be discussing スポーツ賭け日本 economic trends in スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region and Chubu Electric Power’s initiatives regarding our new services.

Economic Trends of スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu Region

Let me first address スポーツ賭け日本 economic performance of our company’s foundation, スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region.
スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region is a center for スポーツ賭け日本 “Monozukuri industry” with a robust manufacturing sector. スポーツ賭け日本 shipment of manufactured goods for Aichi, Shizuoka, Mie, Gifu and Nagano Prefectures make up approximately 27% of スポーツ賭け日本 national value. More than half of スポーツ賭け日本 electricity demand for this region is industrial.
スポーツ賭け日本 electricity demand for スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region which was 124.4 billion kWh in FY2015, has increased by 5.3 billion kWh, of which 3 billion kWh was high voltage and extra-high voltage demand, to 129.7 billion kWh in FY2017.
In terms of monthly demand, high voltage and extra-high voltage demand has been up from スポーツ賭け日本 year before for eight consecutive months since October of last year—an indication of スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region’s vitality.
I would now like to direct your attention to スポーツ賭け日本 Tokai region, comprised of Aichi, Gifu and Mie Prefecture, within スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region. According to スポーツ賭け日本 most recent “Regional Economic Report” by スポーツ賭け日本 Bank of Japan, exports have been increasing, mainly in automobile parts and machine tools, and capital investment is expected to increase, mainly by automobile and machine tool manufacturers, in research development, strengthening production capabilities, and saving labor.
As a background factor, social structure innovation is occurring at an unprecedented scale and speed. This includes technological innovation, notably AI and IoT, and efforts to achieve low carbon society.
スポーツ賭け日本 automobile industry, a key industry for スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region facing a period of “once in a century” change, is aiming to transform itself from a “automobile manufacturing company” to a “company that provides all travel-related services”.
I am seeing a wave of efforts to provide new value to society through innovations such as “electric vehicles”, “autonomous driving”, and “connected cars” in スポーツ賭け日本 wide-reaching automobile industry as a whole.
“Smart factories” that pursue production increases and labor savings using AI and IoT technology are being built in スポーツ賭け日本 machine tools industry, bolstered by demand increases from スポーツ賭け日本 automobile and robotics industries.
In these ways, initiatives to create new value and build new business models with society’s future in mind are being actively rolled out in スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region, amassing and aligning スポーツ賭け日本 technological capabilities honed over スポーツ賭け日本 years through “monozukuri”.
スポーツ賭け日本 fruits of such labor are not yet apparent as concrete figures, but I am confident that スポーツ賭け日本 forward-thinking efforts characteristic of スポーツ賭け日本 Chubu region will be a “leading force” in powerfully driving society toward スポーツ賭け日本 future.

Initiatives Regarding Chubu Electric Power’s New Services

Next, I would like to address our efforts in grappling with large social structural changes.
In March of this year, our company reconsidered “スポーツ賭け日本 value we provide to our customers and society”. We declared in our “Management Vision” our strong commitment in pursuing further change and established a course of action to continue to be スポーツ賭け日本 chosen utility for our customers and society.
Our strengths lie in our solid technological capabilities, ability to make attractive proposals and スポーツ賭け日本 trust between スポーツ賭け日本 local customers built through our history as an energy business.
Community relationships have weakened and grown sparse with スポーツ賭け日本 diversification of personal values and lifestyles, and population decline. I believe that our corporate value lies in our ability to provide new solutions for this modern community using our strengths and スポーツ賭け日本 latest AI and IoT technology.
スポーツ賭け日本 “Connected Home” for example, will enable us to connect interactively with our customers using スポーツ賭け日本 transmission function of IoT devices such as sensors and smart meters which will be installed in スポーツ賭け日本 all our customer’s homes.
Using スポーツ賭け日本 most up-to-date technology such as スポーツ賭け日本 above, Chubu Electric Power will transform our energy infrastructure into a community support infrastructure. We will create “a new form of community” where everyone connects with each other unhindered by physical distance, rather it be a “customer” with another “customer” or スポーツ賭け日本 “customer” with a “corporation or municipality”.

Summary

スポーツ賭け日本 business environment surrounding our company is reaching a turning point with changes in social structure and electricity system reform, including スポーツ賭け日本 liberalization of retail gas and electricity markets, and スポーツ賭け日本 legal separation of スポーツ賭け日本 power transmission and distribution networks in 2020.
Chubu Electric Power will work toward continuing to be スポーツ賭け日本 number one choice for customers by providing services and solutions with high added value to スポーツ賭け日本 communities’ various social problems through its community support infrastructure.
This ends my presentation.
