Peak Energy acquires 48 MW ready-to-build solar portfolio in Japan
The portfolio of projects will come online progressively over 2026-2028 and be combined with battery storage to maximize climate impact and cost savings for customers.
SINGAPORE and TOKYO, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peak Energy, one of the fastest-growing renewable energy developers in Asia, has completed the acquisition of a unique portfolio of ready-to-build (RTB) high-voltage solar sites in Japan.
Located across different regions of Japan, including Tokyo and Tohoku, the projects have a combined capacity of 48 MW, sufficient to produce nearly 60 GWh of zero-carbon electricity per year, equivalent to the power consumption of around 15,000 households. In the process, the solar systems will help avoid nearly 27,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to removing around 9,000 cars from the road.
The solar plants are scheduled to come on stream over 2026-2027, with the electricity output sold to corporates through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). Prices will be fixed from day one until the end of the 20+ year PPAs, allowing customers to make immediate savings on their electricity bills and to shield themselves from fluctuations in electricity tariffs over the long term. Selected sites will also see battery energy storage systems (BESS) collocated with the solar PV installations, allowing customers to make additional savings and expand their use of renewable power into the night.
This transaction further highlights Peak Energy's rapid growth in Japan, following the acquisition earlier in 2025 of another set of ready-to-build high-voltage solar sites, of 11 MW. Peak Energy since 2022 also co-owns a 28 MW solar plant in Kyushu and actively offers corporate power users in the country a range of energy services, such as cheap onsite solar PPAs, offsite solar PPAs and collocated solar+BESS PPAs.
"This acquisition further cements our position in Japan, where we are now uniquely positioned to serve large power consumers with cheap, clean energy at the scale the require and within the timeframe they need to meet their climate objectives," said Gavin Adda, CEO of Peak Energy. "I am particularly excited about Peak now also adding storage to some of our sites, to offer time-shifted PPAs, and helping some of our most ambitious consumers get closer to their 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy ambitions."

Life with the Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 is great. In many ways, it's exactly what we hoped for: a Switch, only better. And yet there's something… underwhelming about it. Maybe it's unfair, but we've come to expect Nintendo to consistently amaze us with either how its consoles work or the games you can play with them. In this case, it still feels like a Switch. Only better. And not universally better, either. On this episode of The Vergecast, now that a number of folks on our team have spent some real time with the Switch 2, it's time to talk about how we feel about this new console. First, The Verge 's Andrew Webster joins the show to talk through his review, from the controllers to the design to the game-changing games here and yet to come. Then, The Verge 's Ash Parrish tells us about her experiences traveling with the Switch 2, how her experience has compared to her first demos of the device, and the games she's been playing so far. Then we pivot a bit, and talk about the Xbox Ally X and Microsoft's own vision for handheld gaming. Finally, The Verge 's Sean Hollister helps us answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@ about the state of consoles. Everything in gaming seems more expensive than ever, and more expensive all the time; is it time for the console business to change?

The World's First Mass Market Electric Car Is Getting a Facelift
By and Nicholas Takahashi Save Nissan Motor Co. 's push to breathe new life into its lineup will see the debut of an updated version of the Leaf, the struggling brand's compact family car that was the world's first mass-market electric vehicle. The Leaf has sold almost 700,000 units since it was originally released in 2010, making Nissan an EV pioneer. But the Japanese carmaker struggled to maintain that early momentum, only introducing its second fully electric model — the Ariya SUV — in 2022 into a market crowded with high-tech offerings.
