LP Gas and City Gas Supply
Nippon Gas supplies LP gas to ~420,000 residential and 18,500 commercial customers in Kanto and is expanding into the deregulated city gas market, targeting a 6–8% regional market share by late 2025; the company emphasizes high‑purity delivery (99.99% propane/butane spec) and safety‑first infrastructure with a ¥12.3 billion capex safety upgrade program through 2025, backed by a supply chain maintaining 98% on‑time fill rates.
Integrated Electricity Retail Services
Nippon Gas (NICIGAS) sells retail electricity alongside gas, letting customers consolidate bills and energy management under one brand; cross-sell uptake reached 18% of residential gas customers by Q4 2025. The electricity product bundles smart meters and billing, designed to complement gas heating and cooking for a seamless household energy experience. By end-2025 NICIGAS increased renewable sourcing to 35% of its retail electricity mix, matching rising consumer demand for green power and supporting a target to reach 50% by 2030.
Space Hotaru Smart Metering
Space Hotaru Smart Metering, Nippon Gas’s proprietary IoT meter, delivers real-time gas consumption and automated meter reading, cutting meter-reading costs by up to 40% and reducing leak response time by 60% (company pilot, 2024).
Its remote shut-off improves safety and lowered incident-related costs by 25% in 2024 field trials, while uptime exceeded 99.5% across 120,000 connected meters.
Consumption data yields per-customer insights that drove a 7% average gas-use reduction and enabled demand forecasting accuracy of ±3% for network planning in 2025.
