Overview
- The 16.8 MW Goto project entered full commercial operation on 5 January 2026 under a consortium led by Toda Corporation with ENEOS Renewable Energy, Osaka Gas, INPEX, KEPCO, and Chubu Electric Power.
- The installation comprises eight Hitachi 2.1 MW turbines mounted on hybrid SPAR-type floating foundations designed and built by Toda.
- Project partners describe the hybrid SPAR configuration as the first commercial application of that floater design.
- The wind farm was awarded in Japan’s first offshore wind auction under the 2019 Renewable Sea Area Utilization Law and certified by the economy and transport ministries.
- Local companies contributed to construction, are expected to support operations and maintenance, and the electricity will be supplied preferentially to local retail providers.
