Sojitz is considering investments of approximately ¥100 billion over the next 3 years in infrastructure development in Australia and New Zealand. The investments are expected to focus on power grid upgrades for renewable energy and businesses addressing local infrastructure demand.
Potential targets include power grid reinforcement, demand for data center equipment, and construction-related projects for arena facilities for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. The projects are expected to cover both local energy supply and sports event infrastructure.
Sojitz plans to acquire Australian infrastructure developer Capella Capital in 2025, with the aim of strengthening its expansion into businesses such as hospitals and subways. Against a backdrop of growing digital demand, it is targeting increased orders for air-conditioning and energy-related equipment for local infrastructure.
Going forward, the focus is expected to be on strengthening local partnerships and defining the scale of investment. Further updates are expected on the timing of the investments and the specific projects involved.
