On June 26, 2026, Japan Semiconductor Corporation, a Toshiba group company, signed a 15-year virtual Power Purchase Agreement (vPPA) with Waita Second Geothermal Power for approximately 19.6GWh of geothermal energy annually, with the deal effective at the beginning of June 2026 and covering environmental certificates. Previously, on June 25, Consumer Reports advised owners of certain Toshiba-branded microwaves and air fryer-microwave combos to use caution, recommending they remain unplugged when not in use. This warning followed more than two dozen reports of appliances auto-starting or adding cooking time, leading to overheating, sparks, smoke, and fire. Earlier on the same day, Toshiba Corporation launched the GridDB Startup Program, a strategic initiative designed to empower startups to build and scale real-time industrial solutions using GridDB Cloud, Toshiba’s distributed time-series database for Big Data and IoT systems.
