Suzuki switches on PV park in Japan’s Shizuoka

April 15 – Japanese carmaker Suzuki Motor Corp (TYO:7269) announced today that a solar plant in Shizuoka prefecture has started operations.

The Suzuki Makinohara Solar Power Plant, began its test operation in October 2015. The company expects additional construction works, aimed at increasing the facility’s generation capacity to 20 MW, to be completed by the end of July.

Once fully completed, the photovoltaic (PV) park will have roughly 110,000 solar panels spread over a 460,000-sq-m (4.95 million sq ft) area. The project’s total cost is calculated at JPY 7.9 billion (USD 72.4m/EUR 64.2m). The annual output of the plant, estimated at 32,200 MWh, will be sold to Chubu Electric Power Co Inc (TYO:9502).

Suzuki’s solar power portfolio amounts to about 25 MW when adding up a 900-kW rooftop system implemented back in June 2015 and a 4-MW PV plant switched on in October.
