Business Opportunities in the Solar Market in Japan: Perspectives from a leading Germany Renewable Energy Project Developer |
This event has concluded.
Abstract:
Over the last 15 years, the solar market in Japan has seen its rise and fall. Since April 2012 and the introduction of the new FIT program for ‘Mega’ solar projects, the Japanese market has become one of the hottest solar markets in the world. Despite the increased opportunities for experienced project companies, entry into the Japanese market is notoriously difficult. Juwi began construction on our first plant in August of 2012 and now has multiple plants under development and construction. For a number of reasons Japan has been an elusive market for many global players. Find out what helped Juwi become one of the early movers and one of the largest international EPC companies to open shop in Japan.
