Dai Nippon Printing to add 10.8MW solar array at Izumizaki plant

Dai Nippon Printing will install a 10,813kW ground-mounted solar power system at its Izumizaki plant in Fukushima Prefecture, its largest in-house renewable energy project to date. Generation is set to start in June 2027 under an on-site power purchase agreement, cutting an estimated 6,332 tonnes of annual greenhouse gas emissions at the site.

Why this mattersThe project marks a scaling-up of on-site renewable generation among Japanese packaging and printing groups pursuing net-zero targets at manufacturing sites.

• Panel capacity is 10,813kW, installed on factory land equivalent to about 2.5 Tokyo Domes.
• Generation is due to start in June 2027 under an on-site PPA (self-consumption) model.
• Estimated annual GHG reduction at the Izumizaki plant is about 6,332 tonnes.
• The site already has a 1,741kW rooftop solar system installed since August 2024.
• DNP will deploy 80,000 sqm of its own reflective ground sheet to raise output of bifacial panels by about 6 percent.
• The project targets Scope 1+2 net-zero emissions under DNP Group's Environmental Vision 2050.
