Background
国际米兰中文官网 Awards are a joint initiative of 国际米兰中文官网 Conservation Promotion Forum and the Kanagawa Prefectural Government.

The Energy Saving Prize was added to 国际米兰中文官网 Award from last year to recognize those who have taken extraordinary electricity-saving measures.
Prize
Under its energy-saving plan to deal with the power shortage after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Yokohama Works managed to reduce its maximum operating power (contract power) from 1,096 kW to 850 kW during the summer by visualizing power consumption in real time and reducing peak power consumption through the effective use of thermal storage tanks. The Works was awarded the Energy Saving Prize for this extraordinary achievement. 国际米兰中文官网 Prefectural Government held the awards ceremony on February 4. Takeo Shimizu, the Director of the Yokohama Works, received a certificate of merit and a plaque from the Governor of Kanagawa Prefecture, Yuji Kuroiwa.
Five organizations, including 国际米兰中文官网 Plant of Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd., have received Kanagawa Global Environment Awards 2012, four other organizations have received the Energy Saving Prize, and five organizations have received incentive awards.
国际米兰中文官网 will continue to conserve energy by effectively using the thermal storage tanks that were installed last year.
