Wind condition and geological surveys for domestic offshore wind development
Wind condition and geological surveys for domestic offshore wind development
Plan：
We have begun conducting wind condition and geological surveys for offshore wind projects. So far, several grid operators conducted initial surveys in potential areas, which led to inefficient surveying and became a burden on the local communities. Considering this situation, Japanese government empowered us to conduct the initial surveys by reference to the Centralized Model implemented in Europe. As part of the governmental public bid process, we will provide grid operators with wind condition data for wind energy evaluations and geological data for planning turbine layouts and selecting suitable foundation designs, utilizing our knowledge about existing offshore development. Through these efforts, we will help to promote project creation.
Current status：
The survey plan is being studied in preparation for starting the survey in FY2023.
