Promotion of Renewable Energy
Nissan
takes
three
approaches
toward
promoting
the
adoption
and
integration
of
renewable
energy
in
line
with
the
characteristics
of
each
region:
(1)
generating
our
own
power
in
company
facilities;
(2)
sourcing
energy
with
a
higher
proportion
of
renewables;
and
(3)
leasing
land,
facilities
and
other
assets
to
power
companies.
As
an
example
of
the
first
approach,
our
Sunderland
Plant
in
the
United
Kingdom
introduced
10
wind
turbines
supplying
up
to
6.6
MW
of
power.
In
2016,
the
plant
installed
4.75
MW
solar
power,
and
in
2021,
additional
installation
of
20MW
capacity
has
planned.
At
our
Iwaki
Plant,
the
guest
hall
for
plant
visitors
is
powered
by
solar
energy.
By
storing
surplus
electricity
in
secondhand
Nissan
LEAF
batteries,
the
plant
both
stabilizes
the
energy
supply
and
uses
resources
more
effectively.
At
the
Huadu
Plant
of
Dongfeng
Nissan
Passenger
Vehicle
(DFL-PV)
in
China,
solar
panels
with
a
total
capacity
of
30
MW
have
been
in
operation
since
2017,
providing
roughly
8%
of
the
electricity
used
at
the
plant.
Regarding
the
second
approach,
our
first
Aguascalientes
Plant
in
Mexico
actively
uses
energy
generated
from
biomass
gas
and
wind
power
and
achieved
a
renewable
energy
usage
rate
of
50%
in
2021.
Solar
power
generators
were
also
installed
on
a
parking
structure
roof
at
the
India
Plant
in
October
2020
and
on
a
warehouse
roof
at
the
Egypt
Plant
in
March
2021,
both
of
which
have
commenced
operation.
We
are
also
installing
5.5
MW
of
solar
power
generation
at
our
Thailand
Plant
starting
in
January
2022.
Through
these
efforts,
we
have
enhanced
the
renewable
energy
usage
rate
at
our
production
plants
as
part
of
reducing
CO2
emissions.
In
fiscal
2021,
our
renewable
energy
usage
rate
reached
11.1%.
