Toshiba Corp. (TOSYY, 6502.TO) and the disaster-hit city of Minamisoma,
Fukushima Prefecture, have agreed to build mega solar power plants for a total
cost of around Y30 billion in an effort to boost reconstruction from the March
2011 earthquake and tsunami, and ensuing nuclear disaster, the company said
Wednesday, Kyodo News reported.
The large-scale solar farms will produce a total of 100,000 kilowatts of
electricity, Toshiba said. It plans to start construction within the current
business year through next March and to launch operations by fiscal 2014.
Toshiba and the municipal government of the coastal city, parts of which were
designated as within the original no-go zone around the crippled Fukushima
Daiichi power plant, are also considering establishing a next-generation
"smart community" featuring efficient energy use, it said.
The company and municipality will call for Japanese and foreign investors to
help them set up a special purpose company to build and operate the solar
stations.
