FPS Signs Off-site Corporate PPA with APM Terminals Japan
Tokyo, Japan – FPS inc. (“FPS”; Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yohei Hora) today announced that it has entered into an off-site corporate Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with APM Terminals Japan K.K. (“APMT-JAPAN”), a member of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, for the introduction of renewable energy.
Under the PPA, FPS will supply APMT-JAPAN with renewable electricity generated from newly developed solar power facilities with a total installed capacity of approximately 5.5 MW. Any supply shortfall will be supplemented through retail electricity, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply.
■PPA Scheme
The installed capacity under the PPA has been optimised to maximise solar power consumption while satisfying real-time matching and physical delivery requirements. The PPA is also expected to contribute to an annual reduction of approximately 2,600 tonnes of CO₂ emissions (Scope 2).
The PPA will support the reduction of electricity-derived CO₂ emissions at APMT-JAPAN’s port facilities at the Port of Yokohama, while also contributing to the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group’s global sustainability targets of sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
As part of A.P. Moller-Maersk, a global integrated logistics company, APMT-JAPAN is actively advancing decarbonisation initiatives across its operations worldwide. This PPA forms part of those broader efforts. Through the agreement, FPS will further strengthen its provision of energy solutions tailored to the needs of international customers.
The PPA is a long-term agreement with a 20-year term commencing on April 1, 2026. By combining direct renewable energy supply with market-based electricity, the scheme enables both price risk mitigation and stable long-term procurement. In the context of ongoing volatility in electricity markets, this approach also serves as an effective risk management tool for corporate energy sourcing.
FPS has built a strong track record in supporting the implementation of corporate PPAs, primarily in the real estate sector. This PPA represents a new initiative in the port and maritime sector and is intended to further expand the adoption of renewable energy supply solutions.
Comment from Yohei Hora, Representative Director, FPS inc.:
“This PPA marks an important milestone in advancing decarbonisation within port infrastructure. By combining the direct supply of renewable electricity with the optimal use of environmental attributes, this initiative enables both the achievement of our customer’s decarbonisation goals and greater stability in energy procurement, demonstrating the value that FPS aims to deliver. In addition, through the introduction of newly developed renewable energy capacity, this project will make a tangible contribution to Japan’s energy transition. FPS remains committed to accelerating the delivery of sophisticated energy solutions that meet the needs of global businesses.”
