Osaka Gas has agreed for its wholly owned subsidiary, Osaka Gas Marketing, to acquire all shares of トルアハ, which is engaged in residential solar power generation and battery storage. トルアハ is scheduled to change its corporate name to ダイガストルアハ on 1 April 2027, and the acquisition will expand its initiatives in the residential battery storage sector.
Osaka Gas has agreed for its wholly owned subsidiary, Osaka Gas Marketing, to acquire all shares of トルアハ, which sells and installs residential solar power generation and battery storage systems. The financial terms have reportedly not been disclosed. The acquisition is expected to be the first step in strengthening the company’s initiatives in the residential battery storage sector.
トルアハ was established in Nara in 2021 and has expanded its operations into the Kansai, Chubu and Kanto regions. Upon completion of the acquisition, トルアハ will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Osaka Gas Marketing and will change its corporate name to ダイガストルアハ on 1 April 2027. Its revenue in its third fiscal year was reportedly approximately ¥1.6 billion, equivalent to approximately US$10 million.
Osaka Gas also operates the 「トルアハクラブ」 service, which uses its sales and installation expertise to support the sale of solar and battery storage systems by homebuilders nationwide. Against a backdrop of growing demand for energy management and disaster preparedness, the residential smart energy market is expected to continue expanding.
The Daigas Group is bringing in specialist capabilities through partnerships, investments and acquisitions, and regards this transaction as a first step. It is also proceeding with initiatives including the launch of residential battery storage systems from Kyocera and the development of services such as 住まいバッテリーEX, with the aim of expanding the business at an early stage.
