What We Do

Marubeni was the first Asian company to invest in UK offshore wind projects and has gained 
development, construction and operations experience through these as well as from previous investments into renewable developers.

Marubeni has been responsible for leading the development of Japan’s first commercial offshore wind farm – the Akita Offshore Wind project. The company had responsibility for managing the project’s environmental studies, permitting, conceptual design, grid connection, project management and procurement. The project was successfully completed.

Marubeni brings strength to renewable projects through its Marubeni Power Asset Management (MPAM) business, headquartered in Hong Kong. MPAM provides asset management services to ensure the economic and efficient operation of both in-house and third-party power plants.

Marubeni’s experience of developing and constructing power plants on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis dates from the 1970s. Since that time, the company has delivered over 112GW of projects in many parts of the world, utilising generation technologies including gas, hydropower, geothermal, cogeneration and wind. This long-established business provides valuable understanding of the technical and commercial project delivery required to safely deliver large capital projects.

Marubeni has been an independent power producer (IPP) for over 25 years, and currently has a portfolio capacity of 11.8GW (net) across 18 countries, with a knowledge of many different regulatory, permitting and operating models. This is made up of a variety of generation sources including gas, LNG, hydro, coal, oil, geothermal, biomass, wind and solar. The company’s first renewable IPP investment was in 1997. Notable renewable investments include onshore wind projects in Portugal and USA, geothermal in Indonesia, hydropower in Philippines and a 936MW photovoltaic solar project in the Middle East.
