They aim to support Japan&#8217;s goal of achieving 10 GW projects by 2030 and up to 45 GW by 2040 for decarbonisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The group, consisting of 14 companies, seeks to commercialise large-scale floating offshore wind farms through joint technology development. This effort includes collaborating with overseas organisations to create international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The group states that floating <a href=\"https:\/\/theelectricityhub.com\/?s=offshore+wind+power\">offshore wind power<\/a> is vital for Japan&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/theelectricityhub.com\/?s=energy+security\">energy security<\/a> and economic growth. Participants include Nippon Telegraph and Telephone&#8217;s energy unit, Tohoku Electric Power, Kansai Electric Power, and Marubeni Corp&#8217;s wind power unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This move coincides with the government approving a draft amendment allowing offshore wind power in exclusive economic zones (EEZs). EEZs offer opportunities for wind farm installations farther offshore, aiding Japan&#8217;s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese energy firms, including Mitsubishi&#8217;s wind power unit, JERA, and Tokyo Gas, have formed an association to advance floating offshore wind farms.
