GSSG Solar's chief executive officer (CEO) Tomakin Archambault said: “GSSG remains fully committed to this portfolio of projects alongside the Sonnedix team.
“In Sonnedix, we found a partner who shares a commitment to building solar projects for the long-term. We look forward to working alongside the NSS team to deliver these projects and to generate clean renewable electricity.
“Proceeds from the transaction will allow us to further enhance our footprint in Japan and we remain committed to investing in more solar PV projects in the country.”
NSS and GSSG Solar have formed a joint development framework to finalise development and construction of the solar PV projects.
Sonnedix's CEO Andreas Mustad said: “The announcement of a major expansion of our pipeline projects in Japan demonstrates our long-term commitment to the Japanese market, which once fully built, will bring the total investment in the country to over $1.3bn.
“We are pleased to have formed a strategic alliance with an experienced industry player like GSSG and look forward to continued cooperation across jurisdictions.”
With the new solar projects in Japan, Sonnedix will have a total installed capacity of more than 1GW, with approximately 500MW currently operating and over 500MW under development and construction.
