OUR INVESTMENTS
Building the clean energy infrastructure of tomorrow across Asia Pacific
DDSP
Brawn has partnered with the Digital Decarbonization Solutions Platform (DDSP) to address the growing demand for decarbonized data centers in the Asia Pacific region.
By leveraging renewable energy sources, we aim to provide hyperscalers with sustainable and efficient data centers that not only meet their operational needs but also align with global net-zero goals.
Together, we are paving the way for a more sustainable future in the data center industry.
Manoa Energy
Founded in 2023 by Brawn, Manoa Energy focuses on the comprehensive development, construction oversight, and project management of grid-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
Manoa Energy is striving to implement solutions that enhance Japan’s energy efficiency and support the region’s transition to a greener future.
Manoa Energy’s first in-house developed BESS project, a 100MW/104MWh Extra High Voltage system, is currently under construction in Sapporo City, Hokkaido

Ground Mount and Rooftop Solar
Since 2015, Brawn has invested in solar assets across Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam, managing over 100MW DC of projects. Our expert team collaborates with local developers to optimize solar asset management.
Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
As a pioneer in the Japanese BESS market, Brawn integrates BESS to tackle solar curtailment challenges in Japan. Our systems stabilize electric grids by storing excess energy, aligning with government incentives, and expanding opportunities.
Decarbonized Data Centers
Brawn is dedicated to sustainable data centers across the Asia Pacific, meeting the needs of hyperscalers while addressing credit and currency risks. We focus on innovative, renewable-powered solutions that drive operational efficiency and support net-zero goals.
Case Studies
Featured projects demonstrating our execution capabilities
Helios
Helios 1 is a 50MW/104MWh Battery Energy Storage System project in Sapporo City, Japan, and is now in the later stages of construction. It has been connected to the grid and is entering commissioning. The project was developed by Manoa Energy with Hokkai Denko as the EPC partner. A majority stake has been sold to HD Renewables, with minority share negotiations ongoing.
