In August, the company announced its intention to decide on a policy of decommissioning one or more nuclear reactors within five years if it were to resume operations of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa No. 6 and No. 7 reactors and secure a non-fossil power source ratio of more than 40%, combining renewable energy and nuclear power. Although the reactors passed the government's safety inspection in December 2017, Niigata Governor Hideyo Hanazumi has said that he will not discuss restarting the reactors until the results of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Verification Commission's review are available.

                  Towa Electric Industry's 6-kilowatt charger for electric vehicles

                  Towa Electric Industry (Kita Ward, Okayama City), in cooperation with Wako Denken (Yao City, Osaka Prefecture), has commercialized a low-cost 6-kilowatt battery charger for electric vehicles (EVs). The total price (excluding consumption tax) is about 200,000 yen if installation work is also undertaken, which is about half the cost of installing a standard 6-kilowatt charger. The battery can be recharged in 12.5 hours with Nissan's LEAF e+ EV, halving the recharging time compared to a 3-kilowatt charger. Towa Electric Industry is engaged in the maintenance of power generation facilities, telecommunications work, and electrical work for stores in Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. "In April 2018, the company launched its first product, a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system for large facilities such as factories, with the aim of expanding its peripheral businesses related to electricity.

                    EV Japan's hydroelectric power generation system

                    EV Japan (Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture) will start selling small hydraulic power generation equipment that reuses automobile generators and batteries in September. Starting with the completion at the end of August of a demonstration unit consisting of a water wheel and a generator in Gojo City, Nara Prefecture, the company will begin to propose the unit to local governments and power companies as an independent and emergency power source in mountainous areas. The company manufactures and sells electric vehicles (EVs) based on engine cars, golf carts, etc., electric tractors, and EV buses developed in-house. The company intends to spread inexpensive hydroelectric power generation facilities in mountainous areas, etc., which will lead to the introduction of its own electric vehicles. In response to this trend, EV Japan aims to develop new markets such as sales and maintenance of special EVs and power generation equipment.

                      Shoe terminals (left) and magnetic clip terminals to be distributed at otta's services for the elderly

                      Otta will apply the know-how of its service for children to prevent dementia patients from going missing due to wandering. The service will first be offered in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, and is expected to be used by several hundred people in the first year. The service will be available at the city office. The terminals will be distributed mainly in the form of magnetic clips that can be wrapped around a staff or attached to shoes. The monthly fee for the service is expected to be several hundred yen. While the routes to and from school are fixed for children to some extent, it has been difficult for the elderly to read the range of their activities. The city of Minoh began a verification experiment in 2016 by distributing monitoring terminals to elementary and junior high school students, and in 2005 expanded the scope of the experiment to include the elderly.
