Adam Ballin, Equis board director, said: “The contribution of solar energy to Japan’s energy mix over the past two years has increased dramatically, and rapid growth is expected to continue. Not only does our new solar power plant in Nihonmatsu provide low‐cost clean energy, but also it allows us to offer jobs to the local community.”

Equis, which has the largest renewable energy portfolio in the Asia-Pacific, has been drawing a high level of interest in its restructuring plans, with multiple media reports over the last few weeks speculating on potential buyers of Equis' entire renewables portfolio.
