Seminar Overview: Key Considerations in Renewable Energy Transactions

On December 10, 2025, Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host a seminar that delves into the legal and operational intricacies of purchasing and investing in renewable energy projects, presented by Koji Fukatsu, a partner at TMI General Legal Practice. The event will cover critical facets of transactions, particularly significant in today’s booming renewable energy sector.

Key Points of Discussion

1. Selling and Transferring Renewable Energy Projects

The ongoing interest in M&A activities surrounding renewable energy facilities and Special Purpose Companies (SPCs) is notable. The seminar will highlight important considerations when dealing with:

• - Sales, business transfers, stock, and member interest transfers.
• - Absorption splitting of SPCs.
• - The tax implications tied to each transaction form, including corporate tax, registration taxes, and stamp duty.
• - The pros and cons associated with various transaction types.

2. Investment in Renewable Energy Projects

The seminar will discuss investment avenues such as the GK-TK scheme and Limited Partnership Structures (LPS), explaining:

• - What these terms mean and their significance in the investment landscape.
• - Tax considerations within GK-TK schemes and LPS.

3. Troubleshooting Investment Challenges

Given the rise in investment in renewable energy ventures, it’s essential to prepare for possible disputes. Key areas of focus will include:

• - Land-related issues.
• - Certification details, including applicable procurement prices and periods, along with concerns about the potential expiration or revocation of certifications.
• - Permitting processes and their challenges.
• - Existing contracts (EPC contracts, O&M contracts) and the nuances of rights in stock and member interest transfer agreements.
