A remote island off Sasebo city in southern Japan has won permission to construct one of Japan’s biggest solar power plants, the Nagasaki newspaper said.
Construction of a 400-megawatt solar power facility is aimed at creating new income sources and securing employment of 150 jobs in the island as the population ages and declines, the newspaper said, citing city council member Hirofumi Oiwa. Photovolt Development Partners GmbH and other partners will set up a venture in May to proceed with the project, the paper said.
