J-POWER acquires Genex Power

Genex will become a subsidiary of J-POWER.

Electric Power Development Co (J-POWER) is acquiring all the issued shares of Australia-based Genex Power Limited, making the renewable energy and energy storage developers its subsidiary.

In a statement, J-POWER said they entered a scheme of arrangement procedure under Australia’s Corporation Act to proceed with the acquisition of the shares.

The company said it is pushing through with the transaction in line with its goal to accelerate its efforts to contribute to carbon neutrality by 2050, noting that Genex is developing a clean energy hub in Australia.

“J-POWER has built a deep relationship of trust with Genex since 2020 through the joint development of renewable energy projects,” J-POWER said. 

“By accelerating the development of renewable energy and energy storage facilities together with Genex through the share acquisition, J-POWER is confident of significantly contributing to achieving the Australian government’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and goals of J-POWER’s BLUE MISSION 2050,” it added. 

Australia aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030 from 2005 levels and achieve net zero by 2050.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
