Chow Energy Public Company Limited
Business Overview
Chow Energy PCL, a public company limited (CEPL), operates as a holding company primarily investing in renewable energy businesses. Given the increasing global emphasis on renewable energy adoption, various countries have implemented policies to promote renewable energy usage, aiming to foster environmental sustainability and energy security.
The company and its subsidiaries ("the Company") invest in renewable energy ventures, 1. focusing on solar power generation, 2. consultancy and related services for solar power plants, 3. distribution of equipment for solar power plant construction, and 4. strategic solar power plant sales. CEPL primarily operates in Japan, initially investing in Japanese solar power plant projects through share acquisitions or equity stakes in companies holding rights to solar power plants or important licenses for solar power plant operation. Over time, the company has developed and commercialized solar power projects, expanding its commercial electricity sales.
Expanding beyond Japan, CEPL has invested in and developed solar rooftop projects in Thailand, capitalizing on government policies supporting small-scale power producers. This expansion not only broadens the company's customer base in Thailand but also diversifies its business risks from solely focusing on large-scale solar power plant investments in Japan.
Presently, the company is recognized as a market leader in solar energy investments, leveraging its extensive experience and expertise to provide consultancy and comprehensive services for solar power plant development, including Solar Rooftop and Solar Farm projects, both domestically and internationally.
CEPL maintains a continuous investment policy in renewable energy, particularly in solar power projects in Japan, either through direct investments via subsidiaries or joint ventures with other partners. Japan's high electricity demand and the company's longstanding experience and reputation in the industry position it favorably for further expansion within the country.
Furthermore, CEPL has expanded its investment in solar power production and distribution in Australia, which boasts one of the world's largest and most progressive solar energy markets. Supported by the Australian government's initiatives to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy to mitigate climate change impacts, the company is well-prepared, technologically and in terms of skilled workforce, to capitalize on the significant growth potential in Australia.
