Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (President: Norio Nakajima; hereinafter, “Murata”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a virtual PPA¹ (hereinafter, “this PPA”) with Cosmo Eco Power Co., Ltd. (President: Fumiaki Nokura; hereinafter, “Cosmo Eco Power”) effective January 14, 2026. 
^{1 Virtual PPA: A contractual arrangement whereby a consumer procures only the environmental value, not the actual electricity generated, from a renewable energy power plant installed off-site}

Through this PPA, Murata will receive environmental value with additionality² in the form of NFCs from Oita Wind Farm (started commercial operation in April 2023) and Chuki Wind Farm (started commercial operation in April 2021), both of which are operated by Cosmo Eco Power. This is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 13,700 tons per year.
This will be Murata’s third virtual PPA, and the first time that we have procured environmental value from wind power generation.
^{2 Additionality: Creating new renewable energy for society as a whole and encouraging investment in new renewable energy facilities}

Murata has set the creation of a decarbonized society as one of its material issues, and we are working towards the goal of 100% renewable energy adoption by 2035.
In addition to endeavors to save energy in our production processes, Murata will reduce the environmental impact of its business operations and contribute to the realization of a sustainable global environment by installing in-house power generation facilities at its plants and expanding its renewable energy procurement portfolio through various types of PPA.
