Invenergy Japan GK has completed financing with the MUFG Bank and NEC Capital Solutions (NEC) for the Koumi Kogen Solar Energy GK project in Japan.
The completion of project financing further strengthens Invenergy and SB Energy’s partnership, which will see the joint development, financing, construction and operation of Koumi Kogen Solar Energy GK as well as Queens Solar Energy GK.
In April last year, Invenergy and SB Energy announced a partnership for the joint development of the two projects.
Set to be developed on a former golf course in Nagano Prefecture, the Koumi Kogen Solar Farm will have the capacity to generate 10.3MWdc of power once operational.
The Queens Solar Energy GK is located in Fukushima Prefecture and will have 9.2MWdc of capacity upon becoming operational.
By next year, both projects are expected to commence commercial operations.
