Japan Offshore Wind

Unleashing wind potential could boost Japan’s share of clean power to 90% by 2035, according to the think tank, Ember.

Its generation from the wind sector is less than 1% of the total electricity.

This is more than the 1% recorded in 2021.

The consortium was formed with Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. and Toho Gas Co., Ltd.

The agreement includes exploration of offshore wind projects.

Long overlooked by the market, offshore wind farms are finally in the limelight as the country pledges carbon neutrality by 2050.
