Mitsubishi Research Institute and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation are joining forces with Aomori Prefecture and the city of Hachinohe to build a regional electric network to deliver electricity generated only by alternative sources such as wind power, fuel cells and biomass, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The network will provide power to school and city government buildings in Hachinohe by April 2005, with plans to later supply power to residential homes.
A group of 29 firms and organizationsincluding the Japan Research Institute, Matsushita Electric Industrial and Sanyo Electric -have launched a ยฅ3 billion (US$27m) project to link 100-200 fuel cells to provide power. The group will monitor both the power output of fuel cells installed at each site and each user's power usage, mutually supplying power among users.
In addition, Fuji Electric, Nissin Electric, Nomura Research Institute and two other partners are teaming up with Kyoto Prefecture and the town of Yasaka to build by early 2005 an electric network using wind and solar power as well as biomass and fuel cells. This project will use methane from kitchen refuse and farm animal waste
