GE unit GE Energy Financial Services is continuing its expansion into the Japanese renewable energy power market, completing its second solar project financing transaction with Pacifico Energy. GE Energy Financial Services invested alongside Virginia Solar Group in Mimasaka Musashi, a 42MW (DC) photovoltaic solar power project under construction in the prefecture of Okayama. Financing for the project was completed on a non–recourse project finance basis and was supported by a JPY ¥13 billion credit facility from the Bank of Tokyo–Mitsubishi UFJ and Chugoku Bank. Additional financial details were not disclosed.

Located on the site of a former golf course, Mimasaka is expected to reach commercial operations in the third quarter of 2016 and sell its power to Chugoku Electric through a 20-year power purchase agreement at a fixed tariff rate. Pacifico Energy is managing construction and operations, Toyo Engineering Corporation is the construction company on the project, and photovoltaic panels and inverters are supplied by Yingli Green Energy and TMEIC.

Sushil Verma, a managing director and Japan business leader at GE Energy Financial Services said: "We are committed to building a long-term relationship with Pacifico Energy and helping Japan meet its renewable energy targets."

Nate Franklin, partner at Virginia Solar Group added, "We are excited about partnering again with GE on a second project. This investment helps Mimasaka achieve its goal of transforming itself into a zero emission city." By 2020, Japan aims to have 20 percent of its power generated from renewable sources.
