On March 6, 2024, we held a matching event at Yurihonjo City for the construction work of onshore transmission and substation facilities, as a part of our activities to promote the involvement of local companies within Akita prefecture in our offshore wind projects off the coast of Yurihonjo City in Akita. This event was hosted by the Offshore Wind Project Promotion Council of Yurihonjo City, who share our philosophy. Total 34 companies in the vicinity of Yurihonjo City, in addition to members of the Council and the Yurihonjo City's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, participated in the event. On the day of the event, our prospective main contractor, C-Tech, described the construction program, and representatives from the participating companies in Akita prefecture commented that they appreciated the opportunity at Yurihonjo City to hear the operator's explanation of the construction details and the future schedule. In order for companies in Akita Prefecture to participate in our project, we will proactively plan and execute the matching events like this one, through the cooperation with our prospective main contractor, Akita prefectural government, relevant local governments and the local Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
