Power-saving Activities
Measures for Supply and Demand of Power
At NEC, we are working earnestly to control our power consumption in numerous ways in accordance with national and local government targets. Examples include use of fluorescent light bulbs only in every other light fixture, automatic switching off of lights in the headquarters building at a set time, and adjustments to air-conditioning temperatures.
Power-saving measures
Employees in Japan are the principal party involved in power-saving efforts, working to save power during peak power times and to reduce power usage throughout the year.
- Switching off lights in offices
- Shutting down parts of shared equipment (e.g. shutting down printers and individual air-conditioners)
- Switching off some lights in production lines
- Operating electric water heaters on a thinned-out schedule
- Acceleration of installation of energy-saving equipment (e.g. high efficiency lighting (ALline, LED)
- Using building-wide public-address system to call for power-saving, power-saving patrols
FY 2012 State of control on power consumption (NEC Group)
As a result of power-saving activities within the NEC Group, all locations of the NEC Group achieved power reduction (numerical) targets within each power service area.
- Service area of Tokyo Electric: Achievement of lower annual power consumption than previous fiscal year
- Service area of Kansai Electric: Call for 15% power-saving--Performance over 15%
- Service area of Kyushu Electric: Call for 10% power-saving--Performance over 10%
- NEC Group locations in the service areas of Hokkaido, Tohoku, Chubu, Hokuriku and Shikoku Electric Companies: Achievement of the call for 5 to 7% power-saving
Employee awareness enlightenment measures
Awareness raising activities are carried out to facilitate all employees being active participants in power-saving, including visualization of power consumption for each location being posted on the intranet portal site so power usage can be seen at all times.
