Japanese Titanium Products Company Signs PPA For 200 Solar Plants

Japanese conglomerate Sojitz Corporation will build approximately 200 small-scale solar power plants to sell clean energy generated to titanium products company OSAKA Titanium Technologies under a long-term corporate power purchase agreement (PPA).  

Sojitz Group will develop and operate these projects that will be fully owned by its subsidiary, Sojitz Mirai Power Corporation. Altogether, these 200 solar power plants will represent 10 MW of combined capacity to supply renewable energy to OSAKA Titanium for a period of 20 years via The Kansai Electric Power grid. 

Solar energy supplied by Sojitz projects will power OSAKA Titanium’s Amagasaki plant, starting from October 2025, enabling the factory to reduce approximately 8,000 tons of carbon emissions. 

According to the Japan Energy Hub PPA database, this is the 1st disclosed PPA for OSAKA TITANIUM. The 200 distributed generation solar projects will generate about 19 GWh annually once fully operational. It says low-voltage distributed energy generation assets secure faster grid connection compared to high- and extra-high-voltage projects.

For Sojitz, this project is part of its Medium-term Management Plan 2026, under which it will develop 3,000 small-scale distributed solar projects across the country through its independent power producer (IPP) business. It claims to have developed 2 GW of renewable energy power plants across Japan and overseas since 2009.  

The company explained, “With extensive experiences and track record, Sojitz plans to focus its efforts not only on advancing environmentally friendly mega-solar projects with less deforestation but developing distributed power plants on unused lands that are difficult to utilize with mega-solar project. Sojitz aims to introduce a stable and highly reliable source of renewable energy to meet the needs of consumers.”
