With the signing of this agreement, we will work together to achieve a sustainable future by switching all electricity for club-related facilities, including Kashima Soccer Stadium, to Octopus Energy's renewable energy by the summer of 2025.
Recently, with the cooperation of the club, we are planning to develop a solar power generation site in Ibaraki Prefecture, which has excellent sunlight conditions. Through initiatives such as utilizing the green energy generated at this site for facilities like Kashima Stadium and the clubhouse, we aim to promote the widespread use of renewable energy, advance a local production for local consumption model, and raise environmental awareness in the Kōkō area.
Furthermore, in the future, we envision expanding the concept of a local production for local consumption model for renewable energy across the entire community, in cooperation with a wide range of club stakeholders including supporters, partner companies, and local government.
Kashima Antlers and Octopus Energy, as responsible clubs and companies for the community and society, will continue to promote environmental consideration, expand the possibilities of renewable energy, and create a better future together with the local community.
