Softbank Corp., Japan’s third-biggest mobile phone company, and Mitsui & Co. plan to build and start operating what may be the nation’s biggest solar power plant.
Spurred on by Japan’s incentive program for clean energy and Softbank Chairman Masayoshi Son’s ambition to install more renewable energy in a country that last year experienced the world’s worst nuclear disaster in a quarter of a century, the two companies today signed a pact to build 39.5 megawatts of capacity at a site in Tottori prefecture.
