Introduction Current Initiatives toward Realizing Vision
In November 2011, the Tokyo Gas Group released its Group Management Vision: "Challenge 2020
Vision - Initiatives by the Tokyo Gas Group for Energy and for the Future".
In our previous management plans, “Hop" (FY2012-2014) and “Step" (FY2015-2017), our goals
were to realize a total energy and global corporate group. In addition to widely expanding our
business domains and areas, and forming seven business domains, we also built a new group
formation.

Introduction Positioning of the Jump Period
During the “Jump” period, we will deploy the Tokyo Gas Group’s “GPSxG” system to generate real
new value in “the things we can do” while pressing forward with ongoing a comprehensive vision of non-
continuous reform (business transformation unprecedented in its boldness and fundamental reform of our
organizational structure). The 2020s will be a period of solid growth and forward movement.
Jump
As we go forward with our management planning, we are focusing here on three specific
perspectives.
The three perspectives are: “The era of natural gas,” “The era of single-source providers of
electricity and gas,” and “The era of multi-dimensional innovation fueled by rapid digital
evolution”.
With its excellent stability, For many years, customers in Digital technologies, including

I-1 Recommend Optimal Uses for “GPS (Gas & Power + Services)”
The full deregulation of the electric power retail market has made it possible to offer not only gas
but gas and electricity as a set to all customers, including residential customers.
To provide optimal plans for gas and electricity, we will use various means to deliver services that
meet the needs for lifestyle and business of customers and reach a greater number of
customers.

Recommend Optimal Uses for “GPS (Gas & Power + Services)”
I-1 Residential customers
The Tokyo Gas "total energy service plan" is a general energy plan offering value for money, peace
of mind, and simplicity and convenience that combines a gas and electricity packaged discount with
various services that customers can choose freely.
Tokyo Gas, which has built a network with 11 million customers through its 130-year-old city gas
business, will provide optimal energy that corresponds to a customer’s actual level of use.
We will continue establishing new pricing menus and service menus that more customers can feel
“profitable”. We will provide our electricity to 2.2 million customers by FY2020 and increase the
number of customers provided the one-stop service of supplying both gas and electricity.

I-1 Residential customers
Tokyo Gas Group aims to provide optimal recommendations to support its customers’ lives as only it
can do owing to its many years experience supporting the lives of customers and providing
them with gas and power.
We want customers to think of Tokyo Gas when they have troubles in your daily life. To
nurture this recall, we are preparing an extensive menu of each customer’s life stages and
troubles in daily life that customers would like to have handled. We plan to develop a
platform that will offer one-stop services for gas and electricity.
We aim to expand our new service menu as the Tokyo Gas “total energy service plan”, including
services through alliances with ventures and other companies.

I-1 Commercial and industrial customers
We are moving forward with the expansion of natural gas use by extending the length of the
pipeline network and lorry supply. At the same time, we plan to assist with energy solutions,
including energy conservation, CO2 reductions, and cost reductions via the use of natural gas and
gas equipment.
Cooperating with ENNET and Synergia Power, We will provide competitive electricity to large
scale customers.
We will continue proposing energy services to match customer needs and engineering projects
such as LNG terminals and pipeline construction with local operators.

The Tokyo Gas Group conducts a full range of business activities in the LNG value chain
(procurement, transportation, city gas production and supply, power generation and energy
solutions) to ensure the safe and stable supply of energy to our customers, the majority of whom
reside in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. We also apply our domestic and global experience and
knowhow towards constructing energy infrastructure in Southeast Asia.
Through our business activities, we aim to contribute to the achievement of UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Since our founding, the Tokyo Gas Group has contributed to the expansion of city gas.
After becoming the first company to import LNG to Japan in 1969, we converted raw
materials to natural gas, the lowest carbon among fossil fuels. We also promoted the
wider use of natural gas by development technologies, including CGS and combustion
technologies. Today we provide city gas to over 11 million customers.
By engaging in smart energy networks, we are contributing to urban development, Energy Economic Innovation
growth
including the improvement of energy efficiency for entire regions and enhancing added
value, such as adding disaster prevention functions.
After the full deregulation of energy market, we will provide a variety of services
combining gas and electricity to continue contributing to the enrichment of our
customers’ life and to urban development.
Southeast Asia is expected to see a growth in demand for natural gas and an expansion
of LNG imports. In this region, we are contributing to economic growth and helping Urban Climate change Partnerships
