Vena Energy bags JPY5.36b green loan for 17MW solar project

The project is scheduled to start commercial operation in 2023.

Vena Energy has secured a green loan, worth JPY5.36b, to develop a 17-megawatt solar project.

The project, funded through a co-financing scheme led by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank in Japan, will be located at the Nihonmatsu Kaminagaori Solar Project in Fukushima Prefecture in Japan.

“The Nihonmatsu Kaminagaori Solar Project will be our fourth renewable energy project in Fukushima Prefecture, and we are grateful for the continued support from Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank which enables us to continue to contribute to Japan’s energy transition,” Juan Mas Valor, Head of Vena Energy Japan, said.

It is scheduled to start commercial operations in 2023. The new solar project is expected to supply clean energy to more than 4,000 Japanese households annually.

This is also equivalent to reducing 11,445 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and some 16 million litres of water conserved annually.

“Supporting the provision of clean energy through green loans and being considerate of the natural environment and local communities is a meaningful initiative that is in line with this vision,” Keiichi Hamano, Managing Executive Officer of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, said.

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.
