The companies plan to begin pilot operations in early 2024, aiming to resolve issues faced by infrastructure companies.

SINGAPORE, July 25, 2023 — Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based global GameFi company and owner of the PlayMining gaming platform, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TEPCO Power Grid, Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshinori Kaneko, hereinafter referred to as, “TEPCO PG”) and Greenway Grid Global Pte. Ltd. (Head Office: Singapore; President & CEO: Kazuhiko Shiba; hereinafter “GGG”) to explore the leveraging of “electric power assets”*1 for interactive content that contributes to society.

Prior to this announcement, DEA and GGG signed an MOU in March 2023. With TEPCO PG as a new partner, the three companies will collaborate to develop solutions to pressing issues by combining Web 3.0 technologies with the aim of realizing a sustainable society. The new content to be developed is based on the concept of “creating a sustainable future together” and is aimed at solving issues faced by infrastructure companies through GameFi.

The content will consist of enjoyable games that actually aid with the maintenance of local infrastructure facilities, such as by detecting abnormalities before problems manifest, etc., thereby contributing to society. Additionally, mechanisms that leverage power asset NFTs*2 to enhance the gaming experience, such as enabling players to earn tokens based on gameplay, will also be considered.

GGG views the global expansion of Web3.0 as an opportunity and will continue to manufacture and produce power asset NFTs while exploring mechanisms for creating added value by leveraging electric power asset NFTs.

DEA aims to enable anybody to enjoy Web3 entertainment while simultaneously contributing to a sustainable society through Play to Earn (P2E), and is leading game development efforts toward that goal.

TEPCO PG aims to create new methods for leveraging electric power assets in partnership with collaborators, thereby delivering unique value through close-to-home electric power assets and enhancing the efficiency of facility maintenance.

Going forward, the three companies will continue detailed discussions as they aim to commence trial operations in Japan by the beginning of 2024.
