Please see below for a list of Communications & Energy Company's services*.

Department Overview


As a retail electricity provider of the Rakuten Group, Rakuten Electricity provides "Rakuten Denki," an electricity service for general households, and "Rakuten Gas," a city gas service.

Rakuten Electricity is expanding its services to become the No. 1 new electric power company by providing a safe, convenient, and affordable experience close to its users.


The service features a simple design with a basic charge of zero yen and a single metered charge based on the amount of electricity used, instead of the complicated and difficult electricity rate plans of the past.

The service allows customers to receive Rakuten points based on their electricity bills and to pay their electricity bills with the points.


Furthermore, the digitization of the energy field is expected to continue in the future, including the digitization of electricity meters, the development of mobile communication technology, and the spread of IoT and AI.

With the spread of distributed power resources such as solar power generation, storage batteries, and electric vehicles, virtual power plants (VPPs) can be used to control and optimize power supply and demand, bundle power sources generated by each household, and mutually trade power.

I can also imagine a future where this is done.

Against this backdrop, we aim to establish a new power platform by leveraging Rakuten Group's IT technology and big data.

Position

Why We Hire
