Sonnedix, which is majority owned by institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, now has a portfolio surpassing 1GW worldwide, of which nearly 500MW is operational.
Andreas Mustad, CEO of Sonnedix, said: “The announcement of a major expansion of our pipeline projects in Japan demonstrates our long-term commitment to the Japanese market, which once fully built, will bring the total investment in the country to over US$1.3 billion. We are pleased to have formed a strategic alliance with an experienced industry player like GSSG and look forward to continued cooperation across jurisdictions.”
Tomakin Archambault, CEO of GSSG Solar, said: “The proceeds from the transaction will allow us to further enhance our footprint in Japan, and we remain committed to investing in more solar PV projects in the country.”
