Juwi forms Japan joint venture

Japan offers very good conditions for renewable energies, says Juwi

German renewables developer Juwi has set up a joint venture in Japan to build 1GW of new projects in the fast-growing market over the next four years.

The venture, a collaboration with Tokyo-based Shizen Energy, completed and connected a 1MW solar PV plant near Kumamoto city on Kyushu Island last month. The project uses Canadian Solar modules.

Known as Juwi Shizen Energy, the new company has a project pipeline of 120MW for this year and plans to install 1GW of wind and solar projects by 2017, according to Juwi.

It will offer project development, EPC services, operation and maintenance, and project financing for both solar and wind energy.

However, it is likely to focus initially on solar projects, including both ground-mount and rooftop systems.
