On 20th August 2020, juwi Shizen Energy Inc. (“juwi Shizen Energy”) concluded the EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) contract for the “Kai Shobuzawa Solar Power Plant” project, an approximately 14 megawatt (DC) mega solar power plant. It is the first project that juwi Shizen Energy received an order from Amp Energy. (“Amp”)
This power plant will be constructed on a site of approximately 15ha located in Kai City, Yamanashi Prefecture, commissioned by Kai Taiyoko Daiichi GK (Chuo-Ward, Tokyo), which is the SPC owned by Amp. Annual output is expected to be approximately 18,000,000 kilowatt hours, equivalent to the annual electrical power use of approximately 5770 ordinary homes.
juwi Shizen Energy was established in 2013 as a joint venture between juwi AG, a company headquartered in Germany that is involved in development and EPC for renewable energy around the world, and Shizen Energy Inc.
