Energy investor Daiwa Energy & Infrastructure (DEI) is to invest in Japanese data center specialist Highreso Kagawa.

The companies did not disclose details of the transaction.

Highreso Kagawa is a subsidiary of Highreso, a GPU-based cloud service provider, and was formed for the parent company’s data center operations.

The subsidiary will now operate and construct a data center in the Kagawa prefecture on the Japanese island of Shikoku.

Details of the proposed data center have not been shared.

Highreso said it has experience designing, constructing, and operating energy-efficient data centers, and focuses on deploying data centers in rural areas of Japan.

It operates two data centers - one in the Ishikawa prefecture of Japan. The facility spans 3,900 sqm (42,000 sq ft). Details of the other facility are not known.

Daiwa Energy & Infrastructure, part of Daiwa Securities Group, provides investments in energy and infrastructure-related businesses. In April, it invested in two US-based utility-scale energy projects managed by InfraRed Capital Partners.

The firm also bought three Australian solar PV projects from the Obton Fund this year and has invested in fiber network operator Onivia.

NTT operates its Takamatsu 2 facility from the Kagawa prefecture.
