Akihabara News (Tokyo) — Vena Energy Japan announced today that its new 31MW solar power plant in Kawakami village, Nagano Prefecture, is now operational.
The new Kawakami 2 plant follows the completion of Kawakami 1 in November 2021, providing the company a combined 67MW of solar power capacity in the remote mountain village.
Juan Mas Valor, who leads Vena’s operations in Japan, commented, “This is the second project in Nagano Prefecture, but we will continue to actively work with the residents and stakeholders to accelerate the energy transition and contribute to the preservation of the natural environment, which is the mission of Vena Energy.”
Singapore-based Vena Energy claims that its entire portfolio of renewable energy assets in the Asia-Pacific region now amounts to about 35GW of capacity, including projects which have been approved or are under construction, making it one of the region’s largest independent renewable energy power producers.
Japan’s total solar power capacity as of the end of last year was estimated at over 74GW, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.
