Japan's Renova resumes operation of 48-MW solar plant in Iwate

Japanese renewable power producer Renova Inc (TYO:9519) announced on Thursday that the 48-MW Karumai West Solar Power Plant in Iwate Prefecture has resumed commercial operation.

The plant had stopped operations on April 22, 2026, for repair work after Renova detected a defect in the power receiving and transforming equipment.

Renova said the loss of revenue caused by the stop of operations will be covered by profit insurance and the impact on the financial results for the 2027 fiscal year.

The Japanese company earlier said that the facility is capable of generating 50 million kWh of clean power per year, enough to meet the demand of 15,000 local homes.
