ORIX is actively expanding its activities with regard to power plants that make use of renewable sources such as solar, geothermal, wind and biomass. Of these, the company’s large-scale solar power plants (mega-solar power plants), which are built on unused land, generate a maximum output of 837 MW, while its rooftop solar power plants, which are installed on the roofs of factories, warehouses, and other buildings, generate a maximum output of 159 MW.

Power plants require safe, long-term management. ORIX Renewable Energy Management will utilize the knowledge cultivated by ORIX thus far in its renewable energy power plant activities, and nurture human resources that possess an abundance of knowledge and experience in order to operate, manage, and maintain its power plants with a high degree of expertise. In order both to prevent risks and to ensure continued normal operations at these power plants, ORIX Renewable Energy Management will carry out checks with the aim of maintaining and preserving facilities; at the same time, the company will provide immediate recovery support to minimize power generation losses in the event of malfunctions, and operate the plants with a view to maximizing power generation capacity by using remote monitoring and data analysis to visualize power generation conditions at the plants.

Going forward, the ORIX Group will continue to expand its activities in renewable energy-based power generation, asset management, and other fields. In so doing, it will contribute to the widespread popularization of renewable energies.
