Promoting a Positive Approach to Saving That Reduces Household Costs and Enhances Quality of Life

We are pleased to announce that ZIGExN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, Operating Officer, and CEO: Joe Hirao; Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime: 3679; hereinafter referred to as ZIGExN), has entered into a business partnership with KABU & PEACE Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Yusaku Maezawa; hereinafter referred to as KABU & PEACE).

Through this partnership, enepi (https://enepi.jp/), a gas cost-saving support website operated by ZIGExN, will provide opportunities for customers to easily and confidently review their propane gas contracts through “KABU & Propane Gas powered by enepi” (https://kabuand.com/gas/propane).

■Background of the Business Partnership
In recent years, rising prices—including energy costs—along with increasing tax and social security burdens have made household financial conditions increasingly challenging, leading to growing demand for cost-saving measures. While awareness of reviewing utility expenses has been gradually increasing, many households have yet to take action. In particular, although a legal revision that took effect in July 2024 has improved the transparency of propane gas contracts, significant price differences remain depending on the region and provider, making it difficult for consumers to understand the prevailing market rates.

enepi provides comprehensive support for reviewing gas expenses, including gas fee comparisons and cost-saving simulations, proposals for the most suitable and cost-effective plans by specialized staff, and assistance with procedures from obtaining quotes to completing contract arrangements. Through these services, enepi has helped reduce the concerns and effort associated with reviewing utility expenses. Since its launch in 2016, the service has been used by more than 600,000 customers.

However, many people still hesitate to switch gas providers due to concerns such as not knowing which company or plan to choose, uncertainty about whether it will actually reduce their costs, and the perceived complexity of the procedures. This partnership aims to provide more consumers with an opportunity to review their propane gas contracts through KABU &, a service operated by KABU & PEACE, and to support households in reducing their fixed expenses.
