The consortium aims to contribute to the realization of the carbon neutrality by 2050 throughoffshore wind power generation projects, which is expected to play a key role to makerenewable energy a main power source. Specifically, one of the main aims is to contribute toachieve the reduced cost level, which leads to the growth in the renewable energy sector inJapan and improvement in the international competitiveness. The other aim is to build theresilient and competitive regional supply chain, which leads to the creation of job opportunities,and revitalization of the domestic and regional economy. While sharing the consortium’s visionof supporting to achieve the carbon neutral society not limited to Japan but globally, theconsortium aims to contribute to development and improved competitiveness of the overall
