RWE said it has been selected together with Mitsui & Co. and
Osaka Gas by the Japanese government to construct and operate a
commercial-scale wind farm off the coast of two Japanese
cities.
The Germany-based energy company said Wednesday that the
consortium would develop, construct and operate the offshore wind
farm off the west coast cities of Murakami and Tainai, Niigata
Prefecture. Financial details weren't disclosed.
The project is planned to have a capacity of 684 megawatts and
is expected to consist of 38 winds turbines, significantly
contributing to Japan's renewable-energy targets. It will also
support the creation of local jobs and strengthen domestic and
regional supply chains.
This marks RWE's first success in an offshore-wind project in
Japan, the company said.
Full commissioning is scheduled for June 2029.
