Discussing the Future of Asia’s Energy Investment at the Japan Energy Summit 2025
On June 19, 2025, our CEO, Jose Antonio Millan Ruano, participated in a high-level panel discussion titled “Financing the Shift: New Routes for Energy Investment in Asia” at the Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition held in Tokyo.
The session brought together leading voices from the financial and energy sectors to explore how Asia can overcome the regulatory and geopolitical hurdles of the energy transition through innovative financing models and stronger public-private collaboration.
Our Perspective on Financing the Energy Transition
During the session, we emphasized the importance of Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) as a key solution for accelerating the shift from a subsidy-based model to a market-driven renewable energy landscape. CPPAs offer developers like us, as well as institutional investors and corporate energy users, a clear and effective pathway toward decarbonization.
We shared our real-world example of this approach: our partnership with Tohoku Electric Power Company to supply renewable electricity from our Iwaki Solar project to JR East, helping power the Yamagata and Akita Shinkansenlines with clean, reliable energy.
We also highlighted the need for global financial frameworks and investment models that can unlock capital across Asia, particularly when paired with risk-sharing strategies and long-term planning between governments, financial institutions, and corporate stakeholders.
Our Commitment Going Forward
As a company, we remain committed to developing innovative CPPA structures and other innovative renewable energy solutions, such as renewable-plus-BESS solutions, that support the clean energy ambitions of both our partners and the broader region. Our goal is to continue shaping the future of energy by delivering impactful, scalable projects that align with the transition to a net-zero economy.
We’re grateful to the Japan Energy Summit for the opportunity to share our vision alongside such esteemed industry leaders, and we look forward to continued collaboration as we drive forward Asia’s energy transformation.
