Japanese highway companies may rent space to solar panel makers and power producers to reduce the road operators’ debt, the Daily Yomiuri newspaper reported, without saying where it got the information.
The plan will focus on sparsely populated areas along the 9,000-kilometer (5,590-mile) national network, the report said. Companies renting the space may include solar panel makers Sharp Corp., Toshiba Corp. and Kyocera Corp., as well as Japan’s power companies, according to the newspaper.
Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry hopes to introduce by 2012 a system where electricity companies buy the full amount of renewable energy, including solar, produced by households and corporations, the report said.
