Collaboration project between NEDO and Grand Lyon, which includes Lyon and its surrounding Collaborative project among NEDO, the State of area. A new type of urban lifestyle will be New Mexico, national laboratories and other demonstrated through smart redevelopment of participants.In an area where large-scale PV has an existing city by combining energy saving and been introduced, smart grid systems that combine an EV transportation system. demand response using real-time pricing and storage batteries will be constructed.

Collaboration project among NEDO, Malaga City and the Centre for Industrial Technological Collaborative project among NEDO, the State Development (CDTI). The project will examine Collaboration project among NEDO, of Hawaii, Hawaiian Electric Company and EV operating systems in a society where EVs Gongquingcheng City, the State Grid Corporation national laboratories. The project will introduce have been disseminated. New business of China and other participants. The project aims large-scale renewable energy, including wind models that can achieve a low-carbon society at establishing a leading model for a smart and solar power generation, and construct a by changing behavior in a community will then community that can achieve both economic low-carbon model city for remote islands using be developed. growth and a low-carbon society by utilizing renewable energy and low-carbon traffic an EV charging control system. management systems in small and medium cities, where the economy is expected to grow significantly.
