A Solar Power Plant at an Airport

      A unit of a Japanese refiner, Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. (5002), and Development Bank of Japan will be constructing a solar power station with New Kansai International Airport Co. The station at Kansai International Airport near Osaka in western Japan is claimed to have 11.6 megawatts in capacity and is expected to start running early next year, the companies stated in an announcement on April 23, 2013.
       This is the first project of a venture between Showa Shell's Solar Frontier K.K. and DBJ, set up in January to invest in solar projects in Japan, according to the statement. "Solar Frontier will be supplying solar panels and operation and maintenance services while DBJ will be supporting financial structuring for the project," the companies had said. Airport land and buildings for the project will be provided by New Kansai.
