Investment Development Business | Energy
We contribute to the reduction of environmental burden through investments in renewable energy projects.
Market Environment
Power generation from renewable energy accelerating toward a decarbonized society. Following soaring prices due to climate change, etc., needs for stable energy supplies have risen.
Investor needs
Due to rising energy costs and shortage of labor force, renewable energy projects are attracting attention as private real assets with inflation-hedging features. They could be strong diversified investment targets for investors. They also could contribute to achieving responsible investment goals.
