Sonnedix to partner with GSSG solar for a 170 MW PV project expansion in Japan

Sonnedix solar PV plant, Hokuto, Japan
Independent Solar Power Producer (IPP) Sonnedix, through its Japanese operator Nippon Solar Services (NSS), has partnered with GSSG Solar (GSSG) to deploy a 170 MW portfolio of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants, with 47 MW under construction, and the rest currently under development.
The announcement comes at a period of sustained growth for Sonnedix, taking its global reach well beyond 1 GW, with almost 500 MW operating and more than 500 MW under development and construction, the company notes.
Sonnedix is majority owned by institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
The expansion continues to build on NSS’s position as one of the leading players in the Japanese solar market, with a strong local team and a significant portfolio of utility scale solar photovoltaic projects under development, construction or in operation.
GSSG is a solar investor with significant experience navigating complex solar project financings across multiple jurisdictions. GSSG was an early-mover in the Japanese market and initiated work on this portfolio in early 2014.
GSSG and NSS have established a joint development framework to finalize the development and construction of these facilities for Sonnedix, while maintaining their obligations to the local project partners in and around each project site. The two companies have discussed continued collaboration in Japan and other geographies including the U.S.
“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 USD 1.3 billion,” comments Andreas Mustad, CEO of Sonnedix.
