Coexistence of Offshore Wind Power and Fishery in Japan
In 2004, the Mitsubishi Corporation Group planned to install 31 wind turbines off the coast of Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, and proposed the concept of using wind turbine foundations as artificial fishing reefs to provide habitat for squid and rays. 65 GE wind turbines will be installed off Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, in the 2020s, aiming to generate 845 MW, Operation is scheduled to begin in December 2030. Off the coast of Noshiro City, 38 wind turbines are also planned to be installed with the aim of generating 494 MW, and the release of young sea bream and Ezo abalone is underway. Off the coast of Choshi City, 31 wind turbines are already in operation, promoting a symbiosis between the local economy and the environment. Furthermore, wind power generation based on cooperation with fishermen is being promoted throughout Japan, including off the coast of Karatsu City in Saga Prefecture, and adjustments are underway in accordance with guidelines based on the Renewable
Energy Sea Area Utilization Law. These efforts are promoting the coexistence of sustainable energy and fisheries with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
