Renewable energy developer building solar, wind, and EV charging infrastructure across Japan
Shirokumapower (formerly afterFIT) develops and operates renewable energy generation assets—solar farms, wind projects, and EV charging networks—across Japan. The company's 2024 rebrand from afterFIT to refocus on structural electricity cost reduction signals a shift from post-FIT subsidy survival toward competitive, unsubsidized renewable deployment. The tech stack spans CAD, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS—tools suited for site planning, forecasting, and remote monitoring—with active adoption of Google Apps Script suggesting internal automation of operational workflows. Current hiring remains engineering-focused (8 roles) with early-stage product and sales coverage, reflecting a scaling challenge in managing distributed assets across generation, trading, and grid integration.
Shirokumapower operates across the full renewable energy value chain: land acquisition and project development for solar and wind farms, construction and commissioning, ongoing operations and maintenance, and power generation and trading. Founded in 2016 as afterFIT, the company was named for its mission to sustain renewable energy deployment beyond Japan's expiring FIT (Feed-in Tariff) subsidies. In March 2024, the company rebranded as Shirokumapower with a new mission focused on lowering electricity costs structurally. The company is headquartered in Minato Ward, Tokyo, and operates primarily in Japan with a current workforce of 201–500 employees.
CAD, AutoCAD, Python, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP form the core. The company also uses Java, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, React, and React Native for application development, plus Windows and Linux for infrastructure. Currently adopting Google Apps Script for workflow automation.
Active projects include wind power and solar farm development, remote monitoring systems for solar plants, energy storage, solar carports, power output forecasting, and EV charging integration with solar carports. The company is also building trading operations infrastructure and renewable energy generation forecasting capabilities.
