- Tohoku EPCO will supply power for JR East’s Tohoku Shinkansen operations within the Tohoku TSO area; the power will be sourced from:
- Mitsubishi HC Capital’s wholly-owned subsidiary Miyatoko Mega Solar Power Generation LLC’s 36MWAC power plant in Miyagi Prefecture
- Kubota Holdings’ 1.6MWAC power plant (likely the Yujima Anosawa Solar Power Plant in Iwate Prefecture)
- The PPA is expected to account for about 9% of the line’s consumption between Koriyama and Shin-Aomori and for about 4% of JR East’s overall Tohoku TSO area Shinkansen lines’ operations
