JNC Group's core business includes manufacture, sales, and research and development of liquid crystal materials and organic EL materials which are essential to a highly information-oriented society. At the same time, we regard the environment and energy groups as an important business domain, and own run-of-river type hydraulic power stations (total maximum output of 93,200 kW) in 13 places in the Kyushu area, and also work on photovoltaic power generation.

The Hachiman power station is a mega-solar facility utilizing our former Corporation residence site (about 30,000 m2), and is the third power station completed in JNC Group. The power generation capacity is 2.6 MW and the annual power generation amount is estimated to supply about 800 ordinary homes. We will take advantage of the power generation know-how that we have cultivated so far in order to ensure a safe and stable supply.
