Coordinating existing electrical equipment

The system integrates and controls refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment across sites. Aggregating this flexible demand creates a virtual power plant: businesses can optimise equipment consumption while offering demand-response capacity to the electricity system.

Two closes of the same Series A

The January first close raised approximately ¥230 million through equity and bank borrowing. A second close, announced in June, added approximately ¥120 million of equity from Suzuyo Shoji and Mitsubishi UFJ Capital. Together, the closes total approximately ¥350 million for technology and business development.
