Solar Frontier and Chopro jointly established a company, Nagasaki Solar Energy to develop and manage the new power plant. Chiyoda Corporate was said to have provided engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services and the land for this project was leased by Nagasaki Prefecture.
The SOL de Omura Minojima plant is expected to generate approximately 37 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year, equivalent to the annual power consumption of 7,500 households in Japan.
