Tokyu Land Corporation and Tokyu Community Corporation have announced the introduction of “JUREN,” a mobile battery rental service now available in the “BRANZ” condominium series. Powered by renewable energy, this service not only ensures emergency power supply during disasters but also offers everyday usability.
Reliable Emergency Power with Renewable Energy:
A New Disaster Preparedness Solution Combining Convenience and Sustainability
As part of their advanced disaster preparedness initiatives, Tokyu Land Corporation and Tokyu Community Corporation have launched “JUREN” in the eco-conscious “BRANZ” condominiums. This mobile battery rental service, equipped with built-in storage batteries, was co-developed by JUREN Corporation and Familynet Japan Co., Ltd., marking its first introduction to a residential condominium setting.
“JUREN” is available for regular use at a cost of ¥330 (tax included) for two days but automatically switches to “disaster preparedness mode” during emergencies, allowing residents to use it free of charge. The built-in batteries enable up to 60 smartphone charges even during power outages. Additionally, the provided household outlet can power other essential devices such as radios and flashlights.
The electricity powering the “JUREN” units is certified renewable energy under the “Green Power Certificate” program, ensuring clean energy use even outside the home.
Unlike traditional disaster preparedness tools, “JUREN” is designed for both emergency and daily use. Rental stands installed within the condominium premises allow residents to rent and return batteries without leaving the building, eliminating the need to carry chargers or cables when going out.
This initiative will initially be implemented in five properties, including “BRANZ Shibuya Yoyogi Park” (229 units in total across five properties), with plans to expand to newly constructed and existing “BRANZ” condominiums in the future.
By combining everyday convenience, disaster preparedness, and renewable energy, this project exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to sustainable living. Tokyu Land Corporation and Tokyu Community Corporation’s innovative disaster preparedness services are set to further enhance safety, comfort, and environmental sustainability in modern condominium living.
