Tepco, Chubu Electric to buy into India's renewable-energy leader

As domestic demand shrinks, Japanese utilities eye emerging markets

TOKYO -- Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings and Chubu Electric Power together will take a 10% stake in Indian renewable-energy leader ReNew Power, the largest overseas investment in green energy by Japanese power companies.

The two utilities' 50-50 joint venture, Jera, will obtain the newly issued shares by March via a subsidiary for an estimated $200 million. Jera will gain representation on ReNew Power's board.
