JERA to build 600 MW offshore wind project in Japan

It will be constructed off the coast of Tsugaru and Ajigasawa.

Japanese power generation company JERA Co. has revealed plans to construct an offshore wind power project with a maximum capacity of 600 MW.

To be located off the coast of Tsugaru City and the town of Ajigasawa in Aomori Prefecture, the project will have as many as 63 wind turbines installed.

“The favorable wind conditions and shallow seabed off Tsugaru and Ajigasawa makes the area suitable for the development of bottom-fixed offshore wind power generation,” a statement by JERA read.

The company has submitted its Primary Environmental Impact Consideration Document for the Southern Tsugaru Offshore Wind Power Generation Project to the Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry, summarising the results of deliberations made surrounding environmental conservation issues to be considered during the planning stage.

The document has been made available for public review starting 9 March.
