Consortium to develop 375 MW offshore wind farm in Japan

The project will start operations in 2029.

A consortium composed of Japan Renewable Energy Corporation, Iberdrola and Tohoku Electric Power will develop the 375-megawatt offshore wind farm in Akita Prefecture in Japan.

In a statement, the GK Happo Noshiro Offshore Wind Farm consortium said the project will be composed of 25 fixed-bottom foundation wind turbines with 15 MW capacity each, located off the coast of Happo Town and Noshiro City.

The project, which has a 30-year lifespan, is expected to start construction in 2026 with the operations targetted for 2029.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
