The misconception that "switching to a new power provider makes electricity dimmer" and the groundbreaking mechanism that allows you to buy electricity at "cost price"

Today, I would like to talk about "electricity bills," which inevitably weigh heavily on the operation of shops and offices, and share some useful tips that can save you a little money.

"I hear that switching to a new power provider is cheaper, but I don't really understand it and I'm worried..." This content is for those who are feeling uneasy and want to know more!

It's not like switching smartphones! The secret to the "quality" of electricity

When reviewing electricity bills, "new power" companies are one of the options that come up. However, especially among the older generation, there are still many people who feel "it's all the same and I'm worried" just because it's a new power provider.

For example, smartphone contracts. When switching from the three major carriers to a low-cost smartphone provider (like such-and-such mobile), there was a time when some people felt, "Maybe the signal has become a bit harder to get?" I can completely understand why one would think, "If the environment is going to change, it's safer not to change."

However, when it comes to electricity, even if you switch from a major power company to a new power provider, there is "absolutely" no chance that the electricity connection will become poor or the lights will become dimmer! That is strictly protected by a law called the Electricity Business Act.

In fact, the world of electricity is divided into three parts: "companies that generate power," "companies that transmit it via power lines (transmission companies)," and "companies that sell it (retail companies)." Even if we change the retail company (new power provider), the electricity is still delivered by the same "transmission company" as before, and they have a responsibility to properly deliver the electricity. Therefore, the quality will never change no matter where you buy your electricity from. First of all, please rest assured!

Normal electricity bills are the same as "shopping at a supermarket"

Assuming that the quality does not change, general electricity sales (retail) operate on the same mechanism as shopping at a regular supermarket or trading company business.

They purchase electricity, add their company's profit and necessary expenses to it, and sell it to us consumers as a "retail price." The general business model is that most people buy electricity at this retail price, which includes profit.

A "cost-price supermarket" for electricity!? The amazingness of "Digital Grid"

The mechanism I am currently proposing to everyone, "Digital Grid Platform," has a rather amazing feature that overturns this common knowledge.

When you look at an electricity statement, there are various items such as "base charge," "meter-rate charge," "fuel adjustment cost," and "renewable energy levy." These are costs that are always incurred no matter where you buy electricity from, but with Digital Grid, these are all passed on (sold) at "cost price"! In other words, not a single yen of profit is added to them.

"Wait, then how do you make a profit?" you might wonder. In fact, because the exchange takes place through a platform (system) called Digital Grid, it is a very simple business model where only a "system usage fee (DGP fee)" is charged.

There are no confusing or opaque items at all; it is a very transparent billing mechanism that says, "These are the costs (cost price) that will definitely be incurred," and "Please pay this much as a system fee."

The "true electricity cost" you notice through comparative quotes

This mechanism is actually very useful when getting "comparative quotes." When you get a quote from Digital Grid, the "cost price of electricity" becomes clear, so when you compare it with the quote from your current power company, you can see at a glance the difference, thinking, "Oh, the current company is adding this much profit to the sale."

There are actually companies that first get a quote from Digital Grid just to find out that fact.

This transparent and easy-to-understand business model has been well-received, and currently, about 1,200 companies nationwide have contracted for this digital grid, and the number is continuing to grow steadily.

Summary: In these uncertain times, make a smart choice

Nagano Prefecture, where I am active, has a somewhat rigid (conservative) character, so there have been many cases where people chose to maintain the status quo, saying, 'That's how it's always been...' However, as generations change, the impression is gradually shifting, and we are slowly expanding awareness by using the peace of mind that comes with a track record of over 1,200 companies nationwide as our weapon.

Above all, I want to convey this wonderful system to everyone with my own enthusiasm!

In an unstable world, why not review your monthly fixed costs (electricity bills) with a highly transparent and smart system? If you are curious about how it would work for your store (company), please feel free to let me consult with you.

I hope that today's talk has made the somewhat confusing mechanisms of the electricity industry a little clearer.

Well then, let's do our best again today 🌹
