In the Tomakomai industrial zone in Hokkaido, Shizen Energy and Dynax Corporation sign a power purchase agreement (PPA). This agreement concerns the installation of a solar power plant.

An important industrial area

Tomakomai is the largest industrial zone in Japan, located on the island of Hokkaido. The solar installation will use an off-site direct supply PPA model. This model has the advantage of managing supply and demand in an optimal way.

Dynax will use renewable energy sources in the supply of energy for its business operations. The project will have a power of 3,85MWp. Work will begin in November 2023 and will cover 63,721 square meters in the Rinku Kashiwabara district.

Local consumption

The electricity generated by this facility will be 100% internal consumption of the Tomakomai plant. It will thus contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption. This project is one of Shizen Energy’s largest projects using a corporate APP.

Shizen Energy combines the use of renewable energy sources and digital technologies. The company’s activities also include the financing and asset management of solar and wind power plants. The company has more than 1GW of renewable energy in Japan and abroad.
