Japan, Tokyo: Etrion Corporation (Etrion) and Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation (Hitachi High-Tech) announced the construction of 34 MW projects in Japan with financing arranged by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited (SuMi Trust).
One of the projects is Shizukuishi – a 24.7 MW utility-scale solar PV power plant to be built in the Iwate Prefecture of Japan. Construction will start in October 2014 and the project is expected to be operational by the end of 2016 when it is expected to produce approximately 25.6 GWh of solar electricity per year.
The other one is Mito – a 9.3 MW utility-scale solar PV power plant in the Ibaraki Prefecture of Japan. Construction will commence in September 2014 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2015. Once operational, Mito is expected to produce approximately 10.3 GWh of solar electricity per year.
Hitachi High-Tech will provide PV generation systems that incorporate Hitachi’s power conditioning systems and their amorphous transformers which can reduce standby power loss by 70% compared with Hitachi’s conventional silicon-steel-cored transformers. The company will also provide operations and maintenance services.
