What Hokkaido Energy does

It supplies LP gas, kerosene (delivered to home tanks of 200L or more), and retail electricity to approximately 40,000+ residential and commercial customers across Hokkaido, supported by a 24/7/365 centralized gas safety monitoring center (e-Network). The company holds the #1 market position in petroleum product sales volume within Hokkaido and serves a diverse enterprise book spanning government (Hokkaido Government, Sapporo City Hall), agricultural and fishing cooperatives, universities, hospitality (Sapporo Grand Hotel), media (Sapporo Television Broadcasting), energy (Hokkaido Electric Power, Hokkaido Gas, Kitagas Genex, Hokutan Sales), transport (Hokkaido Chuo Bus), and financial institutions (Hokkaido Bank), plus real estate (Taruishi, Hakoseki).

The company also operates 20+ affiliated group companies and maintains a community-facing sub-brand "地球の暮らし防衛隊" (Earth's Living Defense Team) for environmental initiatives.
