The Japan Wind Energy Association JWPA said Thursday that it aims to expand the country's installed offshore wind capacity to 10 GW by 2030 and 30-45 GW
by 2040.
Currently, offshore wind accounts for only a small fraction of Japan's electricity supply, but it will gain
momentum as the Southshore Wind Promotion Act was enacted last year.
Jin Kato, president of the JWPA Association, said at a press conference: "Japan has great potential in building large offshore wind farms, with 128 GW of potential at the fixed bottom end and 424 GW of floating type
.
”
Jin Kato said: "Nuclear power plants have been struggling to restart, while Japan has decided to phase out aging coal-fired power plants, and renewable energy is the only solution
to make up for these power shortages.
The Japanese government should set ambitious long-term targets for offshore wind power, which could help attract investment, including foreign wind turbine and blade manufacturers, to build local supply chains
.
”
Jin Kato added that the government also needs to improve the grid network to absorb more renewable energy
.
If the government's wind power efforts are successful, the cost of offshore power generation in Japan could fall to 8 yen per kWh in the early 30s, close to the current cost
of 5-6 yen/kWh in Europe.
Japan's wind power support program is attracting domestic and foreign developers to actively participate
.
For example, Orsted, the world's largest developer of offshore wind farms, and Tokyo Electric Power Company plan to bid for offshore wind projects
near Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo.
German utilities RWE and Kyushu Electric Power are considering a joint bid for a project
off the coast of the city of Yurihonjo, in the northern city of Akita, Japan.
