The project was built by Hitachi High-Tech using Canadian Solar poly-crystalline
PV modules, fixed-tilt technology and Hitachi inverters. The project company has
entered into a long-term, fixed-price operation and maintenance agreement with
Hitachi High-Tech. The Mito project company has also entered into a 20-year
power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with Tokyo Electric Power Company (“TEPCO”)
under which the project will receive ¥40 per kilowatt-hour (“kWh”) of
electricity produced. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited provided 80% of the
financing for the project with an 18-year, non-recourse loan.
