Easy check
It is easy to understand because it is possible to check how much CO2 reduction has been achieved in terms of electricity consumption in terms of trees. You can check it by year and month, and you can feel how much it is kind to the earth.
Electricity charges and usage
seen in the graph
You can also compare past usage by month, day, and hour, which is useful for power saving.
FAQ
- What kind of price menu is the green menu?
-
This is a menu that uses non-fossil certificates designated as renewable energy to achieve 100% renewable energy and virtually zero CO2 emissions. However, depending on the procurement status of non-fossil certificates, it may be the case that non-fossil certificates that are not designated as renewable energy are used, the usage of non-fossil certificates is not 100%, and the carbon dioxide emission coefficient is not virtually zero.
- What is the difference between the price of the green menu and the basic menu?
-
・Hokkaido Electric Power Area
"J:COM DENRYOKU"
Green Menu does not apply discounts based on electricity usage.- The basic fee, metered portion of usage fee, fuel cost adjustment amount, remote island universal service adjustment amount, and renewable energy power generation promotion levy are the same as the basic menu.

◇About change construction
J:COM will accept changes to the contract type and contract capacity and will ask for the desired date for construction, and the general power transmission and distribution company will carry out the construction. If the location of the distribution board or lead-in line is changed due to construction work that changes the contract type or contract capacity, you will be required to pay the amount billed by the general power transmission and distribution company separately. - Is the green menu eligible for subsidies for electric vehicles?
-
The green menu is not eligible for subsidies for electric vehicles.
- If you switch to the green menu, won't power outages become easier?
-
Since the same power transmission and distribution equipment (wires, substations, indoor wiring, etc.) will be used as before, the stability and safety of electricity will remain the same.
- Do you have a menu for all-electric homes?
-
We are currently not accepting new applications.
New applications can only be made for rate menus equivalent to metered lighting.
The green menu's all-electric menu is available only to those who are currently subscribed to the all-electric menu of the basic menu of J:COM DENRYOKU household course, and can subscribe by changing their plan.- The plans you can subscribe to vary depending on the contract type.
- Is the fuel cost adjustment system applied to the green menu?
-
Applies.
This is because the electricity itself sent to customers who are subscribing to a 100% renewable energy electricity menu includes electricity generated using fossil power sources. - Is the green menu subject to the renewable energy generation promotion levy?
-
Applies.
This is because electricity is charged at a uniform rate nationwide based on the Act on Special Measures Concerning Renewable Energy, and is borne by all electricity users.
- By using non-fossil certificates designated as renewable energy for electricity that includes thermal power, FIT electricity, renewable energy, etc. procured from retail electricity companies that we are affiliated with, we can effectively generate 100% renewable energy. Achieved zero CO2 emissions.
- Former general electric utility company.
- 旧一般電気事業者と異なり燃料費調整額の上限なし。燃料費調整額の変動や今後の料金変更などによっては旧一般電気事業者比で割高になる場合あり。旧一般電気事業者の割引キャンペーンや口座振替割引などは適用不可。北海道エリアにお住まいの方は、北海道電力の従量電灯プランにカーボンFプランを付帯した料金。
