JDC begins work on 10.5-MW solar project in Japan

Japanese company JDC Corp (TYO:1887) announced this week it has commenced the construction works on a 10.5-MW photovoltaic (PV) project in Mie prefecture, southern-central Japan.

The Kitakomatsu Power Plant is being implemented in partnership with local firm Suzuka Group on a 19.5-hectare (481.8 acres) hilly area in Yokkaichi city.

Kitakomatsu is scheduled to be operational around the summer of 2024, featuring about 17,500 solar panels.

Once up and running, the PV plant should be capable of generating enough clean electricity to meet the demand of some 4,200 average households.

Under the agreed partnership, the Suzuka Group is responsible for acquiring the rights to operate the power plant, organising the project site, and providing maintenance and asset management services after its completion.

JDC said it will use its accumulated know-how and expertise after developing 12 solar power plants across Japan to ensure the project operates without problems.
