Nippon Solar Services (NSS), a developer, asset manager, and operator of mega-solar parks in Japan, announced it has selected Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd. as the Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for the construction, interconnection and commissioning of a 30MW solar park located in Iwate Prefecture in the Tohoku region. The EPC contract was signed between the two parties on May 31, 2016 in Tokyo.
Construction of the project will begin later in the year once permitting and financial arrangements for the project are finalized. The solar park will utilize Hanwha solar panels and Huawei string inverters provided by Daiwa House Industry. Daiwa House Industry will provide comprehensive O&M services once commercial operation is reached.
We have been working very closely with Daiwa House Industry over the past months and are very excited to have the support of such a reputable and experienced company. The plant, to be located in the City of Miyako, will be our first project to directly support the area affected by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. commented Olivier Renon, Managing Director of NSS.
NSS currently operates 2 solar parks in Yamanashi Prefecture and has started site mobilization for a 33MW solar park in Oita Prefecture. The Tohoku project adds to the companys strategy to deliver high quality solar plants and to supply sustainable decarbonized electricity to the grid.
