Total Solar, a 100% owned Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT)
subsidiary dedicated to solar activities, has launched construction
of its second solar power plant in Japan. The 25-megawatt-peak
photovoltaic power plant in Miyako, in Iwate province, is expected
to start up in 2018 and will provide clean and reliable electricity
to over 8,000 households.
"The solar market offers significant growth potential. Following
the start-up of the Nanao solar plant in March this year, the
Miyako Solar Park will further contribute to the diversification of
Japan's energy mix," said Julien Pouget, Senior Vice-President
Renewables at Total.
The plant is designed to fully meet Japan's stringent
earthquake-resistant building standards. The facility will be
equipped with over 76,000 high-efficiency SunPower solar panels,
providing maximum performance. The plant will be connected to the
electricity distribution grid to supply energy through the regional
utility company.
Total and Solar
Total, the majority shareholder of SunPower since 2011, is
active across the entire photovoltaic value chain, from
manufacturing cells to designing large-scale turnkey solar power
plants and to installing residential or commercial rooftop systems.
More than 7GW of solar capacity has already been deployed by Total,
SunPower and their partners since 2011.
Total Solar is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Total Group, which
is spearheading Total's own solar activities. Its objective is to
accelerate the Group's development in the production and sale of
solar electricity in Europe and worldwide, by developing solar
power plants and distributed photovoltaic systems at the sites of
industrial or commercial customers.
