Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism selected the consortium to develop the project.

Operations are expected to begin in June 2030. The project focuses on long-term, stable, and efficient offshore wind power generation and will align with the principles outlined in the Council’s report regarding the Sea of Japan Offshore Aomori Prefecture.
