The average size of new wind farms in 2022 is 29.1 MW/site, the largest ever. (updated from 27.6 MW/site in 2020). The average rating of installed wind turbines exceed 3 MW for the first time, reaching 3.4 MW/unit. The first large-scale commercial offshore wind farm in Japan (Noshiro Port Offshore Wind Farm (84MW)) is a major milestone.
Generating hope for the future from wind, a clean energy resource. Wind power is attracting more and more attention as a resource, but because international procurement of materials is still the mainstream, Japan is in need of expertise for the selection and
The Japanese Government''s Strategic Energy Plan estimates that wind power will account for about 1.7% of Japan''s power source mix in FY 2030, or 10 GW of installed capacity, including 0.8 GW from offshore wind power. The Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA), on the other hand, has set medium to long-term targets for offshore wind power
wind power with the aim of reducing the cost of offshore wind power. The Green Innovation Project (GI project), which started in 2021, is progressing in earnest, and concrete results are As of the end of 2022, Japan''s wind power capaci-ty will reach 4,802MW (see Figure 1). Most of the wind power introduced in Japan is onshore wind. The total

A typical typhoon produces wind speeds between 98 and 120 m.p.h. and usually leaves behind a trail of destruction. But a Japanese engineer has plans to harness a typhoon''s incredible wind energy
The Ishikari Bay New Port Offshore Wind Farm utilises 14 wind turbines manufactured by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. The SG 8.0-167 DD is built specifically for offshore use. It is tailored to meet local codes and
Wind power currently accounts for 0.9% of the energy mix in Japan. For wind to, as projected, meet 5% of the energy mix in Japan by 2030, there will consequently need to be a large number of new wind projects. To
Wind power specifically must triple to achieve that, according to the International Energy Agency and others. Examining national targets set by 70 countries that account for 99% of existing wind power, Ember, an energy nonprofit based in London, projects that over the next six years, wind power will double, not triple, compared to the 2022

JWPA announces the installed capacity of wind power generation in Japan as of the end of December 2021. They are surveyed by the JWPA. The cumulative installed capacity at the end of December, 2021 = 4,581 MW, 2,574 units Gross new installation for 2021 (January-December) = 211 MW, 87 units, 16 sites Net new installation for 2021 (January-December) =
SAPPORO, Japan — Ocean winds whip across the beaches, hillsides and sprawling plains of Hokkaido. There''s enough wind energy here for Japan''s northernmost island to power itself and export
Hamburg-based investment company Aquila Group is looking to invest "several hundred million dollars" in battery storage opportunities in Japan and to foray into its nascent
The NEDO research project was aimed at demonstrating the WindFloat at a site in Akita prefecture with typhoon and earthquake exposure. Principle Power completed a FEED design for the 5 MW Hitachi wind turbine and worked with partner Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding to achieve an Approval in Principle from ClassNK, indicating that the technology is ready for
In this chapter we argue that Japan, despite currently being a major wind power laggard, has a potentially bright future with respect to offshore wind power, especially floating offshore wind power. The vested interest problems that have hampered land-based wind power are largely resolved once the turbines are moved out to sea.
Wind power currently accounts for 0.9% of the energy mix in Japan. For wind to, as projected, meet 5% of the energy mix in Japan by 2030, there will consequently need to be a large number of new wind projects. To reinforce all of this, the government has also set a target to generate 30 – 45 GWs of offshore wind generated power by 2040.

Excitingly, Akita Port (Tohoku) offshore wind farm, the first commercial offshore wind farm with awarded FIT in Japan, started operation in January 2023 under the FIT system. Prospective Power Capacity. The energy demand from the electricity sector in 2030 is expected to be over 350GW, and the add-up of solar and wind is expected to contain over one-third of the share.
Can wind farms really produce enough power to replace fossil fuels? The UK government''s British energy security strategy sets ambitions for 50GW of offshore wind power generation – enough energy to power every home in the country – by 2030. However, as wind power can be intermittent, a reliable strategy for phasing out fossil fuels requires a number of
According to Japan''s 6th Strategic Energy Plan, battery storage will be increased as a distributed source of electricity closer to end users and within microgrids. This new policy calls for an increase in installed solar

The country’s exclusive economic zone has an offshore wind potential for 50 times more electricity than its current electricity consumption. The Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA) acknowledges the country’s immense potential. It has set the ambitious goal of increasing capacity to 140 GW by 2050 from just 5 GW today.
Thanks to its vast wind energy potential, Japan is poised to move towards a future without dependence on coal, oil, gas, or uranium imports. In addition to energy independence, harnessing wind energy in Japan would ensure cheaper energy and accelerated decarbonisation.
Most of the wind power introduced in Japan is onshore wind. The total number of wind turbines is 2,622, which will increase by 72 in 2022. The single-year introduction amount in 2022 was 110% compared to 2021. One of the topics was the start of operation of Japan’s first large-scale commercial offshore wind farm.
As a result, the schedule for applying for FIT certification and commencing onshore and offshore construction has begun. Japan installed 233 MW of new wind power capacity in 2022. Cumulative wind power capacity at the end of 2022 reached 4,802 MW with 2,622 turbines. Of this, offshore wind power capacity was 135MW.
