Curious Announcement of Japanese solar companies Building in Ontario

Interesting because:

• Japan was leading the case at the World Trade Organization against aspects of Ontario's feed-in tariff (FIT) local content requirements
• Japan is rumoured to be introducing, very shortly, a FIT program more open to foreign firms

NHK WORLD English:

"Three Japanese companies will join hands to build large- scale solar power plants in Canada.
Sources say trading house Mitsubishi Corporation will team up with Osaka Gas and electronics maker Sharp to build 9 solar farms in the province of Ontario. Their combined output is expected to be 100,000 kilowatts."
