Enfinity Global’s Aomori 70 MW solar power plant in Japan

Located in Aomori Prefecture in northern Japan, this recently completed solar power plant is expected to produce more than 75 GWh of clean energy annually, enough to supply 11% of Aomori City's residential energy demand, or about 15,600 households, and offset 35,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The Aomori solar power plant stands out as a successful example of the effective utilization of bifacial solar panels in one of the world's snowiest cities.
