Under a special-purpose company known as Setouchi Future Creations, Toyo Engineering and Shimizu plan to start constructing the ¥110bn array this November on 260 hectares of salt flats in Setouchi, Okayama prefecture, Chiba-based Toyo Engineering said in an online statement.
GE Energy Financial Services holds a 60% stake in the project.
