July 2, 2025 - JERA, a global energy trading company, and Ryohin Keikaku, a Japanese real estate investment firm, have established a joint venture to develop and invest in renewable power projects. The partnership aims to leverage both companies' expertise to drive the growth of sustainable energy solutions.

The joint venture, named JERA-Ryohin Renewable Energy, will focus on developing large-scale renewable energy projects, including wind farms and solar power plants. The collaboration is part of JERA's broader strategy to expand its renewable energy portfolio and contribute to Japan's carbon neutrality goals.

"By partnering with Ryohin Keikaku, we are combining our strengths in energy trading and real estate investment to accelerate the development of renewable energy projects," said a spokesperson for JERA. "This joint venture will not only help us meet our sustainability targets but also create new business opportunities for both companies."

Ryohin Keikaku, known for its expertise in real estate and infrastructure investments, will bring its experience in project development and financing to the table. JERA, on the other hand, will provide its deep understanding of energy markets and trading strategies.

The joint venture is expected to invest in several renewable energy projects in Japan, with a focus on regions with high renewable energy potential. The first project, a 500 MW wind farm, is already in the planning stages and is expected to be operational by the end of 2027.

The establishment of this joint venture is a significant step towards Japan's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It highlights the growing importance of renewable energy in the country's energy mix and the increasing role of public-private partnerships in driving sustainable development.
