Tokyo, Japan – GATES Inc. (“GATES” or the “Company”) announced that GATES Inc. has entered into a business alliance with Energy Vision Inc. (Energy Vision Inc.), a nationwide provider of O&M services for solar power generation facilities, with the aim of further expanding its secondary solar power plant sales business.
■ About This Business Partnership
By combining Energy Vision Inc.’s extensive expertise and advanced technical capabilities in O&M services for solar power generation facilities with GATES Inc.’s sales and brokerage know-how for secondary solar power assets, as well as its loan partnership framework with major credit-based financial institutions, the two companies aim to create new value in solar power investment and contribute to the expansion of the market.
We will continue to discover new value in pre-owned solar power generation facilities (secondary assets) and contribute to the widespread adoption of renewable energy and the realization of a sustainable society.
■ About Energy Vision Inc.
Energy Vision Inc., in cooperation with the New Energy O&M Association of Japan, provides next-generation O&M services under its flagship offering, “Profitable Solar Maintenance.” By emphasizing three key benefits—reducing feed-in-tariff revenue losses, lowering high maintenance costs, and controlling accident-related risk costs—the company supports improved profitability for power plant operators.
In addition, the company has developed its own “PV Traceability System,” which it utilizes internally while also promoting it as a shared platform within the O&M industry, contributing to the reduction of revenue losses and the operational and maintenance costs of power producers.
Energy Vision Inc. works closely with sales and construction companies on the front lines of the market to promote the adoption and establishment of solar power generation.
