Clean Energy Connect (CEC) specializes in developing non-FIT low voltage solar power plants, with a focus on providing renewable energy solutions to data centers. The company is currently working on a project to develop approximately 800 solar power plants in Japan by September 2026, with a total capacity of around 72MW DC and 40MW AC. One of their key clients is Google, for whom they are supplying renewable energy to a data center in Inzai City, Chiba Prefecture.
