Nippon Benex Starts Operations At Its Largest Solar Plant, The 4.3 MW Benex Sakai Furukawa Solar Port, Built On The LF Sakai Furukawa Rooftop Under Japan’s FIP Scheme

Nippon Benex Co., Ltd., headquartered in Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and led by President and CEO Kobayashi Yohei, has begun operating its newest solar power facility, the Benex Sakai Furukawa Solar Port. This 4.3 MW installation, which uses Japan’s Feed-in Premium (FIP) system, has been built on the rooftop of the logistics complex “LF Sakai Furukawa” in Sakai Town, Sarushima District, Ibaraki Prefecture. It is the largest solar power plant owned by Nippon Benex to date.

The company installed a total of 6,994 solar modules on the roof of the LF Sakai Furukawa logistics facility, which was developed by Cushman & Wakefield Asset Management K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of global real estate services company Cushman & Wakefield. The project was carried out through the Sakai Furukawa Facility Special Purpose Company, and the plant has now officially started supplying power. The Benex Sakai Furukawa Solar Port is expected to generate approximately 4.28 million kWh of electricity each year. This output is equivalent to the annual power consumption of about 1,425 average households in Japan.

The solar power plant has an output of 4,301.3 kW (DC) and is equipped with solar panels manufactured by Trina Solar and power conditioning systems supplied by SUNGROW. The facility began operating under the FIP scheme on November 18, 2025. With this launch, Nippon Benex now owns a total of 54 power plants across the country, with a combined output of approximately 75.3 MW. Among these, 37 plants are rooftop solar installations on logistics facilities, collectively producing about 66.3 MW. In addition, 29 of the company’s solar power plants operate under the FIP system, contributing roughly 54.3 MW of total capacity.

By continuing to develop and operate renewable energy facilities like the Benex Sakai Furukawa Solar Port, Nippon Benex aims to further expand the use of solar power in Japan and contribute to the broader adoption of clean, sustainable energy nationwide
