Belgian renewables firm Virya Energy has entered the Japanese market by acquiring BayWa r.e.’s local solar platform of over 60 MWdc and operational team.

The integrated platform comprises a development and operating solar portfolio spread across Japan's prefectures, the buyer announced on Friday.

“This development advances Virya’s long-term commitment to Japan’s renewable power generation sector, with a focus on supplying large corporate clients with reliable green power,” the company said.

Under the terms, a core team, including senior management and the development team from BayWa r.e. Japan will transfer to Virya Energy and operate under the Virya Energy brand.

"This platform is complemented by proven delivery capability in Japan, as the combined management team has already developed, built, and put into operation over 1,000 MW of solar projects in the country since 2013," noted Virya Energy.
