On March 7, 2024, we held a matching event at Noshiro City for the construction work of onshore transmission and substation facilities, as a part of our activities to promote the local companies' involvement in our offshore wind projects off the coast of Noshiro, Mitane and Oga in Akita prefecture. This event was hosted by the Noshiro Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Noshiro City, who share our philosophy. Total 31 companies in the vicinity of Noshiro City participated, in addition to members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Noshiro City, Futatsui Town, Mitane Town and Oga City. 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 were able to understand the construction details and the future schedule, and that the event helped them to gain an image of the work required for the entry into the construction of onshore transmission and substation facilities. 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.
