through to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and the plant operation,and this plant is the second solar photovoltaic power plant to be operated by thecompany.

Following the start of operations, the plant will produce electricity forcommercial use over a 20-year period, with JGC subsidiary Kamogawa Mirai Solar topurchase the electricity under a fixed-price system. The mega-solar business boasts a
significant contribution to the Japanese domestic energy market.
In Japan, as sites suitable for constructing mega-solar photovoltaic power plants
decrease in number, JGC aimed to apply the project management abilities cultivatedthrough numerous domestic and overseas projects to the realization of an efficient andhighly economical business plan. From the perspective of both an operator and an
EPC contractor, JGC assessed the complex topography of the construction site to enablemaximized power output, and conducted engineering and construction work
accordingly.
Previously, JGC initiated a 25.6 MW mega-solar business in Oita Prefecture, whichcame into operation on May 1st, 2013, and is currently operating.

As an EPC

contractor, JGC has cultivated knowledge and experience in solar photovoltaic power
generation through numerous construction project orders, including construction of amega-solar power plant in Futtsu, Chiba, which was developed by Mitsuuroko Green
Energy Co., Ltd. and Renova, Inc. JGC completed hand-over of the plant in July of lastyear.

As worldwide demand for electricity increases, JGC will continue to apply the expertiseit has cultivated through the EPC business toward the active development of renewableenergy not only in Japan, but also overseas, especially in the intense sunlight of theMiddle East.
