Japan's Fukushima will build a 500-megawatt wind power plant

On May 23, the Japanese government and Fukushima Prefecture will reorganize wind power plants with a total power generation capacity of 500 megawatts in the prefecture and start transmitting electricity
in the Tokyo metropolitan area by 2020.
We will make full use of the substation and transmission grid
that ceased operation after the 2011 accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident.
Power generation operators such as Tokyo Natural Gas will also consider joining the business
.

The plan is part of the "Fukushima New Energy Society Vision" to redevelop Fukushima Prefecture as a renewable energy development area
.
In Fukushima Prefecture, relatively stable wind power can be obtained, and hundreds of 2-3 MW wind power plants can be renovated to attract operators
.
The amount of electricity that can be generated will reach 500 megawatts, equivalent to 1/10
of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

Fukushima Prefecture will conduct a detailed survey of the wind direction and size of the candidate sites, conduct a wind direction survey, and conduct an environmental impact assessment to determine which of the two areas is more suitable
.
Electricity generated by wind power will be sent to the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the new Fukushima substation
will be used flexibly after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will promote plans to renovate existing transmission grids and wind power
grids.

On the other hand, Fukushima Prefecture will openly recruit power generation operators
within the year.
The new 1 million yen or MW operator will be formed through the government, Fukushima Prefecture, and Tokyo Electric Power Co.
, Ltd
.
, which will support the Fukushima Prefecture Renewable Energy Renewal Promotion Council.
Michiaki Hirose, president of Tokyo Gase, who joined the discussions, said, "If we want to make some contributions to Fukushima, we will consider signing a contract
if the accounting and conditions are met.
" ”

Wind power

Alongside photovoltaic power generation is "renewable energy"
.
According to the New Energy Industry Technology Comprehensive Development Agency, in the 10 years to 2014, the domestic base was set from 920 to 2034, and the total power generation increased by 2.
93 million kilowatts from 920,000 kilowatts
.
Starting in 2012, electricity generated by wind power will be purchased
by power companies at a certain price.
However, the installation of power generation equipment above a certain scale becomes necessary for environmental impact assessment, and it takes a certain amount of time
to set up.
Considering the possible impact on the natural environment, or the creation of noise, local residents will object
.
The company will amend the Electricity Business Act
.
Starting in 2017, power generation operators will have the obligation
to regularly inspect equipment.
