Tokyo Century Corp has taken a decisive step toward strengthening its European renewable energy footprint with the acquisition of a stake in a 122.5 MW onshore wind portfolio in the United Kingdom from Equitix Group. Announced on November 12, 2025, this marks Tokyo Century’s first foray into the UK onshore wind sector — a move that underscores the company’s commitment to expanding its clean energy investments under its Medium-Term Management Plan 2027.

The acquisition of Project Asterix symbolizes Tokyo Century’s growing momentum in the European renewable landscape. Through this transaction, executed via a special purpose company, Tokyo Century joins forces with Equitix, which retains majority ownership and management of the assets. The deal highlights a collaborative model where both entities align on operational excellence and sustainable energy objectives. For Tokyo Century, this investment complements its earlier renewable ventures — including UK solar plants in February 2024 and an Italian solar project in December 2024 — marking a deliberate progression toward diversified clean energy holdings across Europe.

Project Asterix comprises four fully operational wind farms totaling 122.5 MW: Pant y Wal (52.5 MW) and Mynydd Bwlifa (22.5 MW) in South Wales, Crook Hill (37.4 MW) near Manchester, and Reaps Moss (10.2 MW) in Lancashire. These assets collectively generate enough renewable electricity to power over 67,000 UK homes annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions across the region. Each wind farm operates under structured Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) — with Statkraft and BT Group among the notable offtakers — ensuring long-term revenue stability. The inclusion of Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) and Levy Exemption Certificates (LECs) further enhances the portfolio’s financial resilience and sustainability credentials.

For Equitix, the sale aligns with a capital recycling approach designed to unlock value and channel funds into future acquisitions, while maintaining operational oversight. Meanwhile, for Tokyo Century, this acquisition embodies a strategic milestone under its Medium-Term Management Plan 2027, which emphasizes overseas solar and wind projects as key growth drivers. The partnership between Tokyo Century and Equitix exemplifies a forward-looking model of collaboration that blends Japanese financial discipline with UK operational expertise. Beyond its immediate business value, this investment also reinforces Tokyo Century’s broader mission — advancing the global energy transition through responsible, long-term renewable investments.

Tokyo Century’s entry into the UK onshore wind market through Project Asterix marks a powerful statement of intent. By strategically partnering with Equitix and expanding its renewable portfolio, the company continues to position itself at the forefront of sustainable infrastructure investment. This deal not only diversifies Tokyo Century’s European energy footprint but also strengthens its contribution to global decarbonization goals — turning ambition into tangible progress.
