Tokyo, 13 March 2026 — Virya Energy, a global renewable energy company operating in more than 15 countries across Europe and Asia, has announced the establishment of its Tokyo office, marking its fourth location in Asia and the official launch of Virya Japan 1000 KK, the company’s dedicated development, ownership, and operating vehicle in Japan.
The opening ceremony was attended by industry peers, banking partners, advisors, manufacturers, and law firms, indicating the strong support and interest from Japan’s renewable energy ecosystem.
The group has long maintained strong relationships with Japanese stakeholders, and the launch of Virya Energy in Japan is a significantly strengthened commitment to Japan’s renewable energy transition.

Virya Energy already has an operating solar project in Japan under a corporate power purchase agreement (PPA), demonstrating its proven ability to develop, own, and operate bankable renewable energy assets in the country.
Through Japan, the company will advance responsible, well‑integrated renewable solutions across wind, solar, and emerging technologies such as green hydrogen, supporting Japan’s accelerating push toward decarbonisation.
Tetsuya Oura, Managing Director of Virya Energy in Japan, said:
“We are pleased to announce our office opening this time as a responsible, long-term renewable energy solution provider under the brand name of Virya Energy from Belgium.

Franck Constant, CEO of Virya Energy in Asia, said: “Virya Energy and Constant Energy have built their growth on a simple principle: we do not come to a market for short‑term opportunities, but to build something durable, local, and trusted. Japan is a sophisticated, demanding, and forward‑looking energy market. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Japan team for the tremendous work that has gone into making this possible, and to our partners and colleagues across Asia and Europe who have supported this journey.”
