= 516 MW, 166 units, 20 sites

The annual new installation has increased about 1.9 times from 270 MW in 2019.
It is the maximum annual installation in wind power history in Japan.

As for offshore wind, Japanese government has announced new aggressive target,
10GW by 2030 and 30GW-45GW by 2045, on 15 Dec 2020
