Peak Energy acquires 48 MW ready-to-build solar portfolio in Japan
SINGAPORE and TOKYO, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peak Energy, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy developers in Asia, has completed the acquisition of a unique portfolio of ready-to-build (RTB) high-voltage solar sites in Japan.
Located across different regions of Japan, including Tokyo and Tohoku, the projects have a combined capacity of 48 MW, sufficient to produce nearly 60 GWh of zero-carbon electricity per year, equivalent to the power consumption of around 15,000 households. In the process, the solar systems will help avoid nearly 27,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to removing around 9,000 cars from the road.
The solar plants are scheduled to come on stream over 2026-2027, with the electricity output sold to corporates through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). Prices will be fixed from day one until the end of the 20+ year PPAs, allowing customers to make immediate savings on their electricity bills and to shield themselves from fluctuations in electricity tariffs over the long term. Selected sites will also see battery energy storage systems (BESS) collocated with the solar PV installations, allowing customers to make additional savings and expand their use of renewable power into the night.
This transaction further highlights Peak Energy's rapid growth in Japan, following the acquisition earlier in 2025 of another set of ready-to-build high-voltage solar sites, of 11 MW. Peak Energy since 2022 also co-owns a 28 MW solar plant in Kyushu and actively offers corporate power users in the country a range of energy services, such as cheap onsite solar PPAs, offsite solar PPAs and collocated solar+BESS PPAs.
"This acquisition further cements our position in Japan, where we are now uniquely positioned to serve large power consumers with cheap, clean energy at the scale the require and within the timeframe they need to meet their climate objectives," said Gavin Adda, CEO of Peak Energy. "I am particularly excited about Peak now also adding storage to some of our sites, to offer time-shifted PPAs, and helping some of our most ambitious consumers get closer to their 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy ambitions."

Dividend Yield: 8.5% CTCI Advanced Systems recently announced a cash dividend of TWD 322.09 million, scheduled for payment on July 23, 2025. Despite offering an attractive yield in the top 25% of the Taiwan market, its dividends are not well covered by earnings due to a high payout ratio of over 100%.

Despite historical stability and growth in dividends over the past decade, current payments are not well covered by free cash flows and earnings. The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 13.9x suggests reasonable valuation compared to the Japanese market average of 14.1x.

Trading slightly below estimated fair value, SpaceLtd has shown strong earnings growth of 31.8% in the past year, which may bolster future dividend stability.

Contracts for equity index futures in Japan, Australia and Hong Kong all pointed to losses early Monday, with Tokyo contracts down more than 2%. The moves signal that Friday's sharp retreat from risk assets — driven by rising US unemployment and slower job creation — is rippling across global markets.
