A 231-megawatt solar power plant breaks ground Friday in Okayama prefecture, western Japan, which is expected to be Japan's largest solar power plant by the time the construction is finished.
The plant, located in a disused salt pan, is scheduled to begin operation in the first half of 2019, with 920,000 solar panels installed.
The total investment of the project runs up to some 110 billion yen (950 million U.S. dollar), with GE Energy Financial Services, Toyo Engineering Corp. and Kuni Umi Asset Management Co. as the main investors.
The Japanese government has been vigorously promoting development of renewable power generation since the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear disaster.
