Whole Energy

Whole Energy Inc., founded by Hiroshi Asano in July 2016, is a Japanese consulting firm specializing in optimizing corporate energy procurement and facilitating the transition to renewable energy. The company provides services aimed at achieving carbon neutrality for its corporate clients.

Key services include a Non-Fossil Certificate (NFC) procurement agency service, renewable energy implementation consulting, and a free electricity rate comparison service. The firm supports clients by reviewing electricity contracts, comparing power companies, and managing the switching process to reduce costs. Additionally, Whole Energy's renewable energy consulting leverages its experience, including the launch of Japan's first Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) auction, to guide clients in adopting sustainable energy solutions.

The business model is centered on providing expert, neutral consulting to help companies navigate the complex energy market. This includes services like a Corporate PPA matching platform, which connects businesses with renewable energy producers for long-term power purchase contracts. In July 2024, Tsuneishi Corporation acquired a 90.01% stake in Whole Energy, a move intended to strengthen its energy business by integrating Whole Energy's electricity auction and carbon credit operations.
