1. The 6 th Energy Strategic Plan -Points of outlook for energy supply and demand in FY2030・ The 6 th Energy Strategic Plan was approved by the Cabinet in October 2021,
raising the percentage of renewable energy to 36-38% by FY2030. The share ofwind power is 5% of that total.

(16.55 million kl ⇒ 50.30 million kl)

Energy mix in FY2030(ambitious outlook)
62 million kl(350 million kl ⇒ 377 million kl)

350 million kl(2019 ⇒ previous energy mix)

12. Measures to introduce offshore wind power・ Japan’s Vision for Offshore Wind Power Industry (December 2020)✓ Target by Government◆ Introduction Target ; 10GW by 2030, 30-45GW by 2040
✓ Targets by Industry◆ Cost reduction target ; 8-9 yen/kwh by 2030-2035✓ Supports to build reliable supply chain and R&D• Current Status of Offshore Wind Promotion Act (April 2019~)✓ Round 1 auctions are finalized(Mitsubishi won 1.7GW)✓ Round 2 auction(Akita) is in progress✓

Many pipelines; 7 promising zones, 10 preparation zones
