Impact Webinar:
Vast Offshore Wind Potential in Japan
[Impact LIVE] Vast Potential for Japan Offshore Wind Ambitions (Part of APAC Wind Energy Week 2023)
Date & Time: 15:30 - 17:30, GMT+9, Feb 7 Tuesday
Format: Digital Conference (Zoom Webinar)
Description:
It has been estimated that Japan has the potential for 144 GW for onshore wind and 608 GW of offshore wind capacity. Japan’s 6th Strategic Energy Plan also envisages renewables to account for 36% to 38% of its power generation mix in 2030. There's no doubt that offshore wind power will become an integral part of Japan’s decarbonisation strategy. However, judging from the current offshore wind power scale, Japan's offshore wind market has not yet ushered in a turning point, and its potential has yet to be released. Based on forward-looking thinking, this webinar serves as New Year's gift that will bring together public and private stakeholders to discuss the key opportunities and challenges of advancing Japan's offshore wind industry.
