Etrion Corporation, which is a solar independent power producer, has completed the sale of its stake in the 13.2 MW Komatsu, 24.7 MW Shizukuishi and 9.3 MW Mito solar projects which are currently operational. The sale has been made to a consortium established by Development Bank of Japan, Kansai Electric Power, and Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. for a value of JPY 8.252 billion, which is equivalent to about $74.8 million.

This is anticipated to happen by July 2021. Etrion also plans to sell its 9.5 MW Misawa solar project in the near future.
