Ukujima Mega Solar Plant
The Ukujima Mega Solar Plant project in Japan will be one of the world's largest photovoltaic power generation facilities at 480 MW(DC) and 400 MW(AC) respectively.
It is located on the island of Ukujima (33.27011°N 129.11171°), administratively to Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
The project has been originated and developed by Photovolt Development Partners GmbH (PVDP) starting in 2012. In December 2018 a consortium of local companies formed by Kyudenko Corporation acquired the project.
The project started in 2012 with the aim of helping to contribute to environmental protection and economic revitalization on the island. The land area for the project covers more than 800 hectares of largely unused land. To facilitate the project a special purpose company TeraSol G.K. was established, which signed more than 11,000 individual lease agreements with around 1250 landowners. The land registry had to be updated in many cases and owners to be located throughout Japan.
In March 2013, the project obtained the METI approval, qualifying for participation under the Japanese Act on Special Measures concerning the Procurement of Renewable Electric Energy by Operators of Electric Utilities (the "RENA") with a feed-in tariff as FY 2012 project.
The first application for grid connection was filed with Kyushu Electric Power in March 2013. In July 2016 the project finally obtained Grid Connection Application approval from Kyushu Electric Power for a direct current, high voltage submarine transmission system based on VSC technology from Siemens.
Subsequent permits and authorization were obtained and the start of construction was scheduled for Q1 of 2020.
The project was successfully developed by PVDP and subsequently Kyudenko Corporation because of, among other factors, the strong support from local communities, most notably local residents and the City of Sasebo.
