It is the first development to take place under Japan’s offshore wind promotion law, which came into force April last year.

The Notice opens today (24 June 2020) and close on 24 December 2020 at 17:00 local time. A winner will be announced in June 2021. The wind farm will have a minimum capacity of 16.8 MW, with a feed-in tarrif of 36 yen/KWh.
