TERA Energy (known as 'Otera no Denki', temple electricity) was founded in 2018 by Buddhist priests as an electricity retailer. Customers pay no extra fee, pick a supported organisation, and up to 2.5% of their monthly bill is donated to community, welfare, education and environmental groups. A 100% renewable option is available. By July 2026 the scheme had passed 56.6 million yen in cumulative donations from 1,931 supporters, spread across about 200 partner organisations.
