Diamond Generating Europe (DGE), the Tokyo-based company’s subsidiary in London, purchased 50% stakes in a 36MW installation in Crucey and a 20MW solar plant in Massangis.

The companies are financing 80% of the project costs via loan agreements with institutions in France and Japan.

Both plants began operations in 2012.

In January, DGE and EDF EN started jointly operating 55MW of PV at France’s Toul-Rosières Air Base.
