6 FAQs about [Japan s wind power storage requirements]

How many offshore wind projects are there in Japan?

In addition to multiple onshore projects, one offshore wind project was commissioned. (Image: JERA) On February 18, 2025, the Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA) published its annual report on the country’s installed wind power plant capacity, which it estimates to have reached 5.84GW as of the end of 2024.

How much wind power will Japan generate in 2030?

Wind power generation in Japan is expected to spread with 10,000 megawatt generation forecasted to be in the energy mix in 2030. This will account for 1.7% of total electric power sources in that year. Following enforcement of the new law in April, 2019, movement toward the expansion of offshore wind power generation started to advance.

Is Japan ready for offshore wind power?

Tokyo (25 April 2024) — Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. published a new report on Japan's potential for offshore wind power. In 2050, the country's sea areas fit for low-cost generation—below 10 yen per kWh—amount to 70 GW for fixed* and 1,477 GW for floating † installments.

Is offshore wind power a viable source of power in Japan?

In this article, we will explain the progress of offshore wind power generation in Japan since enforcement of the law. Wind power accounts for 0.7% of total electricity power sources in Japan (FY2018 preliminary figure). Wind power has spread widely across Europe where it is considered a promising source of power.

How much wind power does Japan have in 2024?

With that, the installed wind capacity in Japan increased by 663MW during 2024, the largest annual increase to date. JWPA’s data shows that 46% of the newly added capacity uses Siemens Gamesa turbines, followed by GE Vernova with a 34% share and Vestas with a 17% share.
