東京Metro與SMFL集團簽訂了一項虛擬購電協議（Virtual PPA），將採購來自太陽能發電廠的環境價值，每年可減少約2.5萬噸的二氧化碳排放，以推進其2050年碳中和目標。
東京地下鐵株式會社（東京Metro）與三井住友融資租賃株式會社（SMFL）的策略子公司SMFL Mirai Partners宣布，雙方已簽訂一項利用太陽能發電廠的虛擬購電協議（Virtual PPA）。根據此協議，由SMFL Mirai Partners全資擁有的特殊目的公司（SPC）所營運的現有太陽能發電廠，其產生的環境價值（年約6,000萬kWh）將以非FIT非化石證書的形式提供給東京Metro。這相當於每年減少約2.5萬噸的二氧化碳，約佔東京Metro總排放量的7.5%。此舉措是東京Metro為實現其「Metro CO₂ Zero Challenge 2050」長期環境目標的重要一步。
