In Taiwan, a Feed-in-Tariff system (FIT) for renewable energy has been introduced, and various initiatives for the introduction of renewable energy are being accelerated, such as setting the goal of installing 20 GW of PV power generation by 2025. With the expectation of expanding the market for renewable energy such as PV power generation and offshore wind power generation, Fuyo Lease established a local subsidiary in Taiwan in January 2020 in order to strengthen its energy and environmental initiatives in Taiwan.

This fund is an investment fund for PV power plants established in Taiwan by PHOTON JAPAN LLC (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President Reijiro Okawa, hereinafter "PHOTONJAPAN") Group, which develops and invests in PV power generation projects in Japan and aims to provide a stable supply of clean energy.

Fuyo Lease has positioned "energy and environment" and "overseas" as strategic fields in its medium-term management plan, "Frontier Expansion 2021", and currently operates 35 PV power plants and 202MW PV power plants in Japan, as well as participating in PV and wind power generation projects in North America.
