Sustaining the blue planet for the futue
Shizen Energy Inc. (hereafter referred to as the company) was established by three young men in their 30s three months after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident that occurred in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. The devastation of the accident was so strong and strong enough for them truly to reaffirm the potential and importance of the renewable energy.
The company was launched just three months after the earthquake and their activities since starting the business have been remarkably speedy, and in 2012 they completed the first mega-solar power plant in Kumamoto. Soon after the first successful completion of the solar power generation system, they keep acting one after another, as if due course, launching a joint venture with a big German company, juwi, establishing the company’s subsidiaries in Japan and overseas. As of 2022, they have developed their business in eight countries around the world. The service area is also diverse, including solar power, small hydropower, wind power, and biomass power generation.
One of the company's big milestones is to reach 10GW of total power generation in 2030. The value of 10 GW is equivalent to about 10 standard nuclear power plants. I believe that the figure of 10 GW includes the amount of power generated overseas, but it is a large figure anyway. I have high hopes for the company's future success. (AS)
