The Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA) has compiled preliminary figures for wind power installations in Japan as of the end of December 2025.
In 2025, newly installed capacity (gross) totaled 625.0 MW (171 turbines) across 24 sites nationwide. After accounting for decommissioned sites, the net increase amounted to 595.5 MW (148 turbines) across 18 sites, bringing Japan’s cumulative installed wind power capacity to 6,434.2 MW (2,866 turbines).
Although no new offshore wind projects commenced commercial operation in 2025, onshore wind deployment continued to advance. Notably, Japan’s largest onshore wind farm, with a capacity of 147.2 MW, was commissioned in Fukushima Prefecture. As a result, Fukushima ranked first nationwide in terms of newly installed capacity by prefecture in 2025.
In terms of cumulative installed capacity, Hokkaido maintained its position as Japan’s leading prefecture for the second consecutive year.
