Sharing Service for Electric Products in Unelectrified Areas

Toshiba Corporation

On the earth, there are “unelectrified areas” where power grids are not, and people who live there aren't able to use enough light or electricity for working, cooking, or studying, etc. Toshiba Group has focused on sharing services for electric products charged by renewable energy and has been conducting needs assessments and demonstrations of these services in Pacific Island countries since 2019. The Company has now confirmed the needs and receptivity to the sharing service by residents in the Malampa Province of the Republic of Vanuatu, and launched a trial LED lantern sharing service in the region in 2023 because of the prospect of securing economic viability through the sharing service, with cooperation of the Malampa Provincial Government, the Vanuatu Investment Promotion Agency, and the International Organization Pacific Islands Centre, etc. In the future, we're going to bring not only "light" be provided with the LED lanterns, but electric products that "improve productivity" such as electric farm equipment and sewing machines.

By accelerating the commercialization of electric product sharing services and promoting the electrification of communities while taking the environment into consideration, Toshiba Group will continue to provide economical and clean energy to all people and contribute to an improvement in the quality of life (QOL).
