Nankai Electric Railway is planning to develop two large solar power plants (large-scale solar power plants) on idle land it owns in Hashimoto City, Wakayama Prefecture. Based on Wakayama Prefecture's decree, public inspection of the business plan began on April 11.
"Komedai ① solar power plant" is installed with 4,000 solar panels, capacity of 2.2MW and grid-connected capacity of 1,666.5kW. "Komedai ② Solar Power Plant" is installed with 6,200 solar panels, capacity of 3.41MW and grid-connected capacity of 1999.8kW.
Both power plants will use solar panels made by China's LONGi Solar and power conditioners (PCS) made by China's Huawei. The construction contractor is Casinon (Okama City). Construction period from July 1 to October 31.
The total annual generating capacity of both power plants is expected to exceed 6 million kWh. The plan is to transmit the generated electricity to company-owned buildings for self-consumption. Power generation is scheduled to begin in November and the generation period is expected to end in November 2043.
The company is researching the installation of solar power generation systems and has installed solar power generation systems on the warehouses of Hagoromo, Izumiotsu and Izumisano stations on the Nankai Main Line. It is powered by solar energy. In addition, the annual power generation capacity of the solar power plant installed at the Suminoe Regatta operated by Suminoe Kogyo, a group member of the company, is 568 MWh, and the annual power generation capacity of the power plant Tannowa solar installed in Misaki. -cho, Sennan-gun, Osaka Prefecture is 623 MWh.
