Located in the Oita prefecture, the plant is expected to produce 46,400 MWh of clean energy during its first full year of operation. This is the equivalent to powering around 15,500 households, avoiding the emission of around 22,502 metric tons CO2 per year. The electricity generated by the solar plant will be sold to Kyushu Electric, through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
“The beginning of the operations phase for Sonnedix Oita Solar marks a milestone for Sonnedix Japan, and the Sonnedix Group, as it consolidates our in-country-growth and expansion strategy, and positions us as one of the leading players in the Japanese solar market” said Axel Thiemann, Sonnedix Group CEO. Sonnedix Japan, on behalf of the Sonnedix group of companies (the Sonnedix Group), currently manages more than 300 MW of solar PV capacity in operation or construction, exceeding 500MW of total controlled capacity.”
Sonnedix Oita Solar, built by Maetel Construction Japan, is powered by 340Wp LG ground-mounted modules, as well as 1,667kW central PV inverters manufactured by Toshiba-Mitsubishi-Electric Industrial Systems Corporation (TMEIC).
