Toyota Group Key Supplier JTEKT Commissions 2,500 MWh Solar Carport in Kagawa Under 20-Year PPA with Peak Energy
Commissioning reflects Japan manufacturers’ shift to site-level renewables under long-term PPAs amid tighter group decarbonisation expectations and unstable energy costs.
TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 April 2026 – JTEKT Corporation, global manufacturer of automotive and industrial components and core member of the Toyota Group, today announced the commissioning of a 2 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar carport at a facility in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, delivered under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Peak Energy. JTEKT expects to save nearly 40% on electricity costs through power generated by the solar systems, compared with grid power.
Under the long-term PPA, Peak Energy designed, financed and installed the system and will provide full operations and maintenance (O&M) over the contract term. Electricity generated by the solar carport will be consumed on-site, supporting JTEKT’s objectives on energy cost visibility and decarbonisation.
The carport installation, which covers 640 parking spaces was completed in just 5 months. It is expected to generate approximately 2,500 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity annually, helping to avoid around 1,090 tons of CO₂ emissions each year, equivalent to removing 230 cars from the road annually.
The commissioning comes as Japan’s export-facing manufacturers increasingly look for renewable energy solutions that can be deployed within tight operational and land constraints.
Carport projects built over existing parking areas allow companies to add on-site generation without additional land take, while also improving day-to-day site usability through shading and weather protection.
Unlike conventional solar installations, carport projects represent a leap in complexity, similar to major infrastructure upgrades than solar add-ons. These projects demand meticulous structural engineering, safety management, and tightly managed installation sequencing around an active industrial site. This project reflects experience built across industrial deployments in the region, build with delivery discipline.

“JTEKT set a company-wide target to reduce CO₂ emissions by 60% by fiscal year 2030 compared to fiscal year 2013. As part of this effort, the Kagawa Plant has been promoting a ‘CO₂ Zero Challenge!’ initiative. In this context, we have implemented a wide range of energy-saving measures on the production floor, including introducing inverter controls for hydraulic pumps and compressors to optimize power supply.” Mr. Yoshioka, Plant Manager of JTEKT’s Kagawa Plant, commented.
“In addition, as part of our energy creation efforts, we have installed solar panels on factory rooftops across the site when possible. Building on these initiatives, we are grateful for the collaboration with Peak Energy, which has enabled us to install a state-of-the-art solar carport, utilizing our employee parking area. JTEKT will continue to advance its efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality” he added.
“JTEKT’s confidence in Peak Energy demonstrates that today’s industrial leaders are choosing partners with proven records of delivering results, technical expertise, and unwavering reliability,” said Gavin Adda, CEO of Peak Energy.
“Carport installations are promising projects, requiring rigorous safety standards and precise engineering, with no room for disruption or incidents. JTEKT sought a partner capable of executing high-performance, precision solar projects. This commissioning marks not only the start of a promising collaboration in Japan but also a significant milestone in Peak Energy’s ongoing commitment to the country and its industrial sector.”Hashtag: #PeakEnergy #JTEKT

A Diamond Is Forever Partnered With Artifex Bride By Kindred Lubeck To Bring Desert Diamonds To The Tanner Fletcher Wedding Runway Show
This marks the debut of Artifex Bride
NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – A Diamond Is Forever partnered with Artifex Bride by Kindred Lubeck to bring Desert diamonds to the Tanner Fletcher Wedding Runway Show during NYC Bridal Week, reinforcing its continued commitment to championing emerging design talent.
The theatrical wedding and formalwear runway show, designed by Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell, took place on April 8th at St. Bartholomew’s Church. As part of the show, A Diamond is Forever brought Desert diamonds to the runway from its creative community, featuring Artifex Bride – and the debut of Kindred Lubeck’s first-ever bridal collection.
The collaboration reflects A Diamond is Forever’s role as curator—bringing together diverse creative voices to reinforce the enduring relevance and appeal of natural diamonds in today’s evolving bridal landscape.
Kindred Lubeck launched Artifex Bride on April 10th, following the global launch of A Diamond is Forever bridal campaign. The collection introduces nine rings, including classic engagement rings and wedding bands, along with five pieces of classic bridal jewelry, including a stylized tennis bracelet, drop earrings and a pendant necklace, each centered around antique-inspired natural diamonds in warm tones and featuring her hallmark engraving technique. The night provided a directionally romantic look for brides today, embodying the enduring beauty and individuality championed by A Diamond is Forever.
From Taylor Swift’s Engagement Ring to Bridal Collection Debut
Historically, Kindred has focused solely on one-of-a-kind pieces, the most recent of which were auctioned at Sotheby’s. After widespread attention following Taylor Swift’s engagement, Lubeck faced pressure to release a bridal line immediately. But Kindred moves with intention. This capsule is the result of months of design development and careful stone selection. It marks her first step toward creating accessibility within her notoriously exclusive brand, which normally services only ten commissions per year.
Kindred’s approach to stone selection is deeply intuitive. The entire collection is built around antique cuts, the so-called candlelight diamonds with big, chunky facets that catch and hold the light in a way modern stones simply don’t. She sorted through hundreds of natural diamonds with warm, desert tones and chose seven that she felt were the most timeless and relevant. Her particular fondness for the elongated old mine cushion comes down to two things: the elegance of the shape, and the romantic intrigue of antique cutting.
As demand for Kindred’s work has grown, custom commissions have become increasingly hard to come by. It was important to her to create an avenue for people to find her work in the bridal category. Her limited drop model means an Artifex piece will always be rare, but no waitlist or custom order is required to get one. While the engagement rings are ready-to-ship, the five bridal pieces will be made-to-order in limited quantities.
Featuring an engraved tennis bracelet and hoop earrings, these bridal pieces mark new territory for the brand. Kindred intended to create jewellery that could be worn the day of, and every day after that, a reflection of the modern bride’s desire to invest in pieces that transcend the wedding day. The collection brings signature engraved elements to new categories; though varied in form, all the pieces have intricated, handcrafted techniques that are core to Kindred’s aesthetic and background as a goldsmith.
Kindred has retained full ownership of Artifex since its inception, because creative control is central to everything she does. That independence shapes how the brand grows, deliberately and on her own terms. Looking ahead, she plans to release a limited bridal collection on a quarterly basis, each one a continuation of the same obsessive attention to stone and craft that defines every Artifex piece.
A Contemporary Expression of “Forever”
The collaboration between A Diamond Is Forever and Artifex Bride goes beyond partnership—it offers a contemporary interpretation of what “forever” truly signifies. Not uniform perfection, but character shaped by time; not excessive brilliance, but a warmth that quietly endures. Like Desert diamonds, each piece embodies gentle strength and individuality, echoing the singular paths, promises, and stories of the couples who choose them.
