About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Tokyu Corporation transitioned all Tokyu Lines railway operations, including trains, stations, and related facilities, to 100% renewable electricity sourced via non-fossil certificates and renewable power. This directly reduces Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its core transportation operations in Japan. The switch was completed and became operational in April 2022, making Tokyu the first railroad operator in Japan to achieve this. Evidence: "Tokyu Railways' trains running through Shibuya and other stations were switched to power generated only by solar and other renewable sources starting April 1." — https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/japanese-rail-operator-now-entirely-powered-by-renewable-energy
