Farmdo Group’s Farmland began supplying Koshidaka with power from a 1.6MWAC/2.3MWDC solar power plant via Eneres under a 10-year off-site PPA on October 15, 2025, the companies announced on the same day.
According to the statement, the solar plant will be aggregated by Eneres and its output delivered to 69 Karaoke Manekineko stores and other Koshidaka-operated facilities in the Tokyo area through the group’s retailer Eneres Power Marketing. The PPA is expected to cover about 19% of the relevant facilities’ approximately 12.7GWh annual consumption.
OCCTO and METI data suggests the asset in Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture, which is expected to generate about 2.5GWh annually, was awarded an 11.88 yen per kWh feed-in-tariff (FIT) in the first FY2020 solar auction. It is likely the project was transitioned to the feed-in-premium (FIP) scheme at commissioning to enable the PPA while maintaining some government support.
Koshidaka operates over 600 Karaoke Manekineko stores nationwide, including 129 in Tokyo and 140 in Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa prefectures. Previously, it secured solar power for 78 branches in other regions through PPAs with Marubeni Power Retail, NTT Anode Energy, PowerX, Chubu Electric Power Miraiz, and XSOL. The company aims to cover at least 30% of its consumption with renewable power with additionality by 2030.
Farmland owns about 125MW of solar capacity primarily in Gunma Prefecture. In addition to traditional ground-mounted projects, its portfolio also includes over 100 agrisolar assets totaling about 30MW.
