G-Connect: Corporate PPA Matching Platform
“G-Connect” is Japan’s first online platform that seamlessly matches renewable energy sources, corporate energy off-takers, and battery storage resources. It provides end-to-end support for creating and contracting PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements), as well as tools for simulating and visualizing future electricity costs and environmental value. The platform is available in both Japanese and English, enabling smooth information sharing and transactions with energy off-takers and power producers inside and outside Japan. Both off-takers and producers can use the service free of charge with no upfront costs.
In addition, G-Connect incorporates a proprietary long-term price forecasting model that predicts JEPX electricity prices in 30-minute intervals, enabling PPA settlement (difference) simulations based on those forecasts. By visualizing future electricity cost burdens and environmental value for corporate off-takers, the platform provides strong support for formulating optimal renewable-energy strategies, including PPAs, battery storage, and certificate trading.
