[Rewards/Attractions]

[Work Environment]
Supply and Demand Planning Team (4 people / men and women in their 20s-40s)
◎ The Supply and Demand Planning Team serves as the core organization supporting the stable and efficient operation of our electricity business. It drives all supply and demand operations, from formulating budgets and procurement policies to complying with regulations and monitoring performance.
◎ The Operations Manager is responsible for power procurement, formulating related budgets, and responding to various regulatory changes.

[About the Services Offered]
*After joining Rakuten Group, you will be seconded to Rakuten Mobile, Inc.

As a retail electricity provider within the Rakuten Group, Rakuten Mobile provides "Rakuten Denki," an electricity service for general households, and "Rakuten Gas," a city gas service. We strive to be the No. 1 new energy provider by providing a safe, convenient, and cost-effective experience to our users and expanding our services.

One of the unique features of our service is that it has simplified the traditional, complex and difficult-to-understand electricity rate plans with a zero basic fee and a single, metered rate based on the amount of energy used. Rakuten Points are awarded based on the electricity bill and can be used to pay the bill.

In addition, with the digitalization of electricity meters, advances in mobile communications technology, and the spread of IoT and AI, energy data is becoming more visible. In the near future, the widespread adoption of distributed energy resources such as solar power generation, storage batteries, and electric vehicles is expected to lead to the use of virtual power plants (VPPs) to control and optimize power supply and demand. In this context, we aim to establish a new electricity platform by leveraging the Rakuten Group's IT technology and big data, in a future where the power sources generated by each household are bundled and electricity is traded between customers.
