In 2023 Invenergy celebrated its 10-year anniversary of doing business in Japan. During this time Invenergy’s team – under the leadership of Akira Amano, Vice President and Country Manager – successfully developed and constructed three solar projects and advanced an additional pipeline of wind developments that are still in progress.
Set against a backdrop of the global effort to achieve a clean energy future that has many countries, including Japan, making investments to modernize their electric grids, Invenergy continues to grow its Japan team to meet the moment.
In 2020, Japan announced its intent to reach carbon-neutral emissions by 2050. To accomplish this, the government will have to deploy renewable energy that will not only help meet the country’s clean energy goals, but will deliver cost-effective, clean energy to consumers in the process.
To build on the momentum of the last decade and ensure Invenergy continues to be the partner of choice to solve clean energy challenges in the market, Invenergy appointed Masayuki Oya as its Japan Business Unit Head to lead the Invenergy Japan team. Oya works with Invenergy’s Japan team to deepen in-market expertise and scale Invenergy’s ability to provide competitive clean energy solutions to customers and consumers in Japan. “We are proud of the work Invenergy’s Japan team has accomplished in the past decade and are excited that Masayuki Oya is part of the leadership team at Invenergy,” said Bryan Schueler, Senior EVP and Construction Business Leader, Invenergy. “This appointment signifies Invenergy’s continued commitment to Japan as we look forward to delivering more clean energy in the country.”
Oya is a proven global business leader with over 30 years of experience successfully growing and transforming large and complex businesses. Prior to joining Invenergy, Oya held a variety of key leadership positions in both GE Healthcare and GE Power. Most notably, he led the Power Services business in the Asia Pacific region, where he was responsible for building and executing winning strategies and driving customer successes.
“It is an honor to join the talented Invenergy team following its 10th anniversary of doing business in Japan,” said Masayuki Oya, Senior VP and Japan Business Unit Head. “Invenergy has extensive experience solving clean energy challenges, both around the world and here in Japan. I look forward to working with the team to provide competitive clean energy projects for customers and to meet our country’s growing energy demand.”
Under Oya’s leadership and building on our decade long track record in Japan, Invenergy will continue to advance a pipeline of projects in Japan to help customers, consumers and the government solve energy challenges.
