Japan is facing the energy emergency following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, thanks to an investment of 25 billion yen, with a 70 megawatt solar mega-plant. The biggest ever made. It will be based in the south of the country, near the city of Kagoshima in the prefecture of the same name, and was born thanks to the agreement between the Kyocera Corporation, a Kyoto company with over 35 years of experience in the solar sector, the IHI Corporation and the Mizuho Corporate Bank. .

Il Japan is addressing the energy emergency following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, thanks to an investment by 25 billion yen, with a mega-solar plant from 70 megawatts. The biggest ever made. It will be based in the south of the country, near the city of Kagoshima in the prefecture of the same name, and was born thanks to the deal between the Kyocera Corporation, Kyoto-based company with over 35 years of experience in the solar sector, the IHI Corporation and Mizuho Corporate Bank.
Under the agreement, the Kyocera Group will be responsible for the supply of 100% of the solar modules and part of the construction and maintenance of the system, the IHI, an engineering and technology company, will provide the land for approximately 1.270.000 m2 of land owned by IHI, equivalent to 27 baseball fields, and will actively participate in the management of the project and Mizuho CB will eventually develop a financing plan for the project. Currently the subject of feasibility studies, the mega plant has already obtained full support for its construction, thanks to investments from KDDI Corporation, by Kyudenko Corporation, Kagoshima Bank, Ltd, Takenaka Corporation and other interested companies. But also thanks to the collaboration of the prefecture of Kagoshima and the municipal administrations. All united in the name of the diffusion of renewable energy and environmental protection.
Plans for the facility, which is expected to begin construction in July this year, include the exclusive use of approx 290.000 polycrystalline solar modules from Kyocera, for a total capacity of 70MW, so much so as to make it the largest plant in solar power never existed in Japan. The 70MW envisaged are equal to almost 40% of the country's total energy needs, both in the public and industrial sectors, and will provide the equivalent of the energy needed by 22.000 3-member families, as well as saving around 25.000 tons of CO2. per year.
After deactivating the nuclear reactors damaged by tsunami , Japan, in short, is concretely trying to change direction, looking for a clean alternative to nuclear power, especially following the increase in CO2 emissions due to greater use of fossil sources. Thus, the agreement between the three companies seems an excellent solution to proactively address environmental problems, hoping that this experience in the construction and design of solar projects could mean greater promotion of solar energy and all renewable sources. . In Japan as well as in the rest of the world.
