OWC secures work on 15 MW floater offshore Japan

Thursday, November 21 2024

Wind Energy – Floating Wind Japan

OWC has been selected by Japanese industrial and engineering company, Kanadevia Corporation, to provide preliminary front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) services for a 15 MW semi-submersible floating wind project offshore Japan.

OWC has supported Kanadevia since the initial stages of the floating offshore wind project, having collaborated during the Green Innovation Fund Phase 1, which involved basic design services several times.

OWC’s role will focus on the first of several planned design iterations, with opportunities for the company to continue its support as the project progresses through its demonstration phases.

The floating offshore wind technology will be demonstrated under the subsidy of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to commercialise floating offshore wind at a cost-competitive level internationally.

The Green Innovation Fund Project, spearheaded by NEDO, is said to be a key component of Japan’s strategy to reduce the high cost of offshore wind, with floating wind technology playing a central role.

By combining the knowledge of multiple companies, the consortium, including C-Tech, Kanadevia, Kajima Corporation, Hokutaku, and Mitsui O.S.K., aims to develop the necessary technologies to make floating wind commercially viable by FY 2030.
