Thank you for visiting the website of Unified Services, Inc. Recently, AI and the space industry have garnered immense attention and are driving stock markets worldwide. However, the indispensable energy source that powers these emerging industries is electricity. While initiatives like carbon neutrality (CN) and electric vehicles (EVs) have also been in the spotlight for over a decade, we are still far from reaching their widespread adoption targets. Recognizing this, we are taking on the challenge of building a new infrastructure for electric power?an endeavor that will only grow more critical in the future.
In 2015, with an investment from Marc Benioff, the founder of Salesforce, Inc. in the U.S., Unified Services, Inc. launched our Electricity CIS (Customer Information and Billing System) business to support the liberalization of electricity retailing. We have since expanded our operations through additional investments from TEPCO Energy Partner, Inc. and Japan Post Investment Corporation (currently Japan Post Asset Management Co., Ltd.). Today, we are entrusted with large-scale, mission-critical systems and ensure their stable operation. These include the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) management system for the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, which oversees approximately 5 million locations, and the high-voltage billing system for TEPCO Energy Partner, Inc.
Furthermore, to promote the regional utilization of approximately 700,000 mid-sized FIT power generation facilities, we have proposed to the government a plan to combine these sites with storage batteries. This would allow them to be utilized for EV charging and as emergency power sources during disasters, and we are currently conducting demonstration experiments to this end. Our goal is to secure emergency power supplies that offer safety, security, and convenience, while simultaneously contributing to the reduction of capacity loads on transmission lines.
The recent escalation of international energy supply risks, including the potential blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, will likely further accelerate the transition from oil dependency toward renewable energy. To meet these growing demands and resolve associated challenges, we are establishing a robust framework that allows us to provide a diverse range of supplementary services while continuing to develop our core electricity-related businesses.
Moving forward, Unified Services, Inc. will continue to proactively leverage emerging businesses, technologies, and services to contribute to solving social issues through the power of cloud computing and AI. We sincerely ask for your continued support as we embark on this next stage of our journey.
