About

Sustainable Energy Society and Energy Democracy

We engage ourselves in a wide range of programs and activities by providing policy recommendations with regard to renewable energy and energy efficiency to the Japanese government, guidance and advice to local municipalities, conducting events such as international conference and symposium.

We also work with many communities to realize locally owned renewable energy projects from scratch to team building, business plan development, financial planning and operation.
