Japan's First: GO Inc. Enters Supply-Demand Adjustment Market by Leveraging EV Charging Across Multiple Locations, Contributing to Domestic Power Grid Stabilization with AI Technology Cultivated in Mobility Sector

GO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Hiroshi Nakajima) will enter the electricity supply-demand adjustment market and commence its power aggregation business from April 2026. Leveraging the AI technology it has cultivated to date, the company has become the first in Japan to realize the provision of adjustment capabilities created by adjusting the charging volume of EV vehicles dispersed across multiple locations. GO Inc. will progressively expand this initiative nationwide, contributing to both decarbonization and the stable supply of electricity.

**| Aggregating dispersed resources across multiple locations into a single adjustment capability for market provision** In Japan's electricity market, the importance of adjustment capabilities is increasing to maintain supply-demand balance amidst the growing adoption of renewable energy. As a resource aggregator, GO Inc. will provide adjustment capabilities to the supply-demand adjustment market through its aggregation coordinator, MC Retail Energy Corporation (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takayuki Araki). At times when the stability of electricity supply is potentially compromised, GO Inc. will control the charging volume of EV vehicles connected to over 230 chargers, aggregating them into a single adjustment capability for provision. The target EV chargers are those installed by GO Inc. for providing EV charging services. The provided adjustment capabilities will be utilized by transmission and distribution system operators to ensure the stable supply of electricity to the domestic power grid.

**| System development leveraging AI technology cultivated in the mobility domain for the power sector** Utilizing its technological foundation cultivated in the GX (Green Transformation) and mobility domains, GO Inc. has become the first in Japan to realize the provision of adjustment capabilities by adjusting the charging volume of EV vehicles dispersed across multiple locations. In its GX business, the company has developed and built a charging management system that provides optimal charging plans for EV vehicle operations. Furthermore, the taxi app "GO" has utilized AI technology to improve the accuracy of matching a vast number of users with taxi vehicles. By leveraging these technological foundations, GO Inc. has successfully developed a system that remotely controls groups of EV chargers across multiple locations in response to minute-by-minute fluctuations in electricity demand, aggregating them as adjustment capabilities.

**| Progressively expanding initiatives nationwide, including storage batteries, to contribute to both decarbonization and stable electricity supply** Moving forward, GO Inc. plans to progressively expand its deployment to other areas, starting from the Tokyo Electric Power Company service area. Furthermore, in the future, by incorporating storage batteries into its resources and expanding the available adjustment capabilities, the company aims to make further contributions to achieving both decarbonization and stable electricity supply, which are major challenges in Japan's energy policy. GO Inc. will accelerate various initiatives aimed at realizing a decarbonized society, not limited to this project. The company will promote the development of EV charger installation sites to advance charging infrastructure in line with the spread of EV vehicles. Moreover, as part of the reuse of in-vehicle storage batteries for the purpose of realizing a circular economy, GO Inc. is also planning to build storage battery systems and has begun developing sites for this purpose. The company is seeking partners to jointly promote these initiatives.
