Workshop and networking reception“Offshore wind in Japan – status, opportunities
and challenges”
Date: 4th December, 2013, 14:00 – 20:00
Organizer: Royal Norwegian Embassy in cooperation withNagoya University, Statoil, DNV GL
Venue: The Norwegian Embassy in Hiroo, TokyoJapan is seeing a rapid introduction of renewable energy due to governmental incentive
schemes such as the FIT. Offshore wind is recognized as one of the most attractive
renewable energy sources with largest potential – government estimates are in therange of 1,200 GW under ideal conditions. Demonstration projects such as METI’s“Forward” (the Fukushima FOW) and MoE’s “Goto Island” projects are now in the water,and many more are in the starting block awaiting concession and approval. Japan has
the technological and financial potential of becoming world leader of Floating Offshore
Wind within the next decade.
Norway, on the other side, has significant experience and knowledge in floating
offshore constructions such as “Hywind” and on maritime operations that would
be of high relevance for Japanese wind developers and not at least on stakeholder
management related to coexistence between fisheries, aquaculture and oceanenergy.
The Norwegian embassy organized in August a similar workshop where the focus wasfocusing on cost reduction for floating offshore wind projects, with special emphasis on
two main topics: harmonization of global standards for floating offshore wind structures,and on realistic assessment of the so-called “learning curve” for large-scale floating
offshore wind projects in Japan, North Sea and other places.
This second workshop in the series is aiming at bridging the experience and knowledge
between Norway and Japan related to another critical aspects; namely stakeholdermanagement and social acceptance of ocean energy projects.
In addition to reports from the newly established Stakeholder Management ResearchInstitute at University of Nagoya, we will hear updates and experiences from actual
floating offshore wind projects in Japan and the North Sea.
