Japan’s Commercial Floating Offshore Wind Farm Starts Operations.

08.01.2026

Japan has started commercial operations at its first floating offshore wind farm.

The Goto Offshore Wind Farm, located off Goto City in Nagasaki Prefecture, entered full commercial operation on 5 January 2026, according to the consortium operating the project.

The project is Japan’s first commercial floating offshore wind farm and the first to be certified under the Marine Renewable Energy Sea-Area Utilisation Act.

The wind farm consists of eight offshore wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2.1 MW, supplied by Hitachi. The turbines are installed on hybrid SPAR-type floating foundations with a steel upper section and a concrete lower section.

Offshore construction began in October 2022, when the first floating foundation was transported from Fukue Port to the offshore site near Kabashima.

The start of commercial operations comes as Japan aims to expand its offshore wind capacity to meet its 2050 carbon-neutral target.

The country plans to develop 10 GW of offshore wind power by 2030 and has outlined a total offshore wind pipeline of 45 GW by 2040.
