Now, Japan's offshore wind power has begun to move !
In Oct. 2020, Japanese Government has announced to achieve “Carbon Neutral by 2050" against the global warming. The offshore wind power is nominated as the most effective industry to achieve it, and the government intends to raise up this new industry. “Public-Private Council on Enhancement of Industrial Competitiveness for Offshore Wind Power Generation” is jointly organized by Japanese government (including Ministers of METI and MLIT) and core industry members (CEOs of electric powers, construction companies, etc.). It is just like “Sector Deal” in UK.

Ambitious target, “10GW by 2030 and 30-45GW by 2040” is announced by METI in the "Vision for Offshore Wind Power Industry (1st)" at the 2nd council on 15 Dec. 2020.
The first offshore wind power auction in general sea area (so-called “Round 1”) has been conducted and 1st winner at Goto area in Nagasaki pref. is announced on 11 June 2021. The other winners at Akita and Choshi area are to be announced coming Nov. 2021.
