Taiwan-based cell and module producer Neo Solar Power (NSP) said its downstream PV project subsidiary General Energy Solutions (GES) had sold a 14.68MW project in Fukushima, Japan and was the first time a Taiwanese company had completed and sold a utility-scale plant in Japan.

NSP noted that the Fukushima-located PV power plant garnered interest from a number of potential buyers but was sold to an unidentified Canadian clean energy company, which had almost a 2GW portfolio of PV assets in Canada, USA, India, UK and Japan.
