Japan's Kokusai Kogyo, Orix each plan 2 MW solar plant

14 February 2012

February 14, 2012. Japan's Kokusai Kogyo Holdings and Orix Corp will each build a solar power plant with capacity of about 2 megawatts in western Japan, the local Kagawa government hosting the facilities, said. Kokusai Kogyo, a major aerial surveying contractor that has built many solar plants, and Orix, Japan's top general leasing company, are taking advantage of a feed-in tariff scheme, which will requires the utilities to buy all kinds of renewable energy from July. Electricity output generated by the plants, which will start operations in July and September respectively, will be sold to regional power provider, Shikoku Electric Power. Japan is keen to increase renewable power in the wake of the radiation crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plant.
