Invenergy Japan and SB Energy Announce New Solar Partnershipin Fukushima and Nagano Prefecture
CHICAGO (April 18, 2017) – Invenergy Japan G.K. (“Invenergy Japan”) and SB Energy Corp. (“SBEnergy”), a subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp., today announced a partnership that will enable
the joint development, financing, construction and operation of two new large-scale solar projects
in Japan—Queens Solar Energy G.K. and Koumi Kogen Solar Energy G.K.—.
Since 2013, Invenergy has successfully worked to advance the development of its pipeline ofapproximately 250 MW of solar and wind developments under the Ministry of Economy, Trade andIndustry’s (METI) Feed in Tariff (FIT) program. FIT was established in 2012 to encourage theinvestment, development and generation of renewable energy sources in Japan to increase thecountry’s rate of energy self-sufficiency. SB Energy has developed approximately 375 MW of solar
and wind power since it was established in 2011. Both companies aim to enhance theopportunities for solar power generation by utilizing Invenergy’s experience with many advanced
global solar projects and SB Energy’s domestic know-how accumulated through various solar
projects in Japan.
Queens Solar Farm operated by Queens Solar Energy G.K. is located in Fukushima Prefecture
and will have the capacity to generate 10.5 MW of solar power.
Koumi Kogen Solar Farm operated by Koumi Kogen Solar Energy G.K.is located in Nagano
Prefecture, approximately 100 miles northwest of Tokyo, and will generate 10.4 MW of solar power
once it is fully operational.
Jim Shield, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Invenergy said, “This dealmarks our first major commercial transaction in Japan and we are pleased to be working with SB
Energy, a company with an outstanding reputation for quality, to make this happen.”
