Two of the three projects were implemented under a partnership with Japanese company Smart Solar Corp.

| Monbetsu Kodo Solar Power Plant | 15.7 MW | 18,993 MWh | Hokkaido |

| Yokotsunooka Solar Power Plant | 2 MW | 2,301 MWh | Hokkaido |
In addition to being the largest of the facilities with 15.7 MW of installed capacity, Monbetsu Kodo Solar Power Plant also has a 8.3-MWh lithium battery storage system, the company noted.
