Tokyo \u2013 21 January 2022 \u2013 Toyo Construction Co., Ltd. (“Toyo Construction”), together with
\nMODEC, Inc. (“MODEC”<\/strong>), Furukawa Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (\u201cFurukawa Electric”), and
\nJERA Co., Inc. (\u201cJERA\u201d<\/strong>), has received, on 21 January, notice of acceptance of their joint
\ngrant application, under the Green Innovation Fund program of the New Energy and
\nIndustrial Technology Development Organization (\u201cNEDO<\/strong>\u201d), to conduct a project to
\ndevelop cost-reducing technology for tension leg platform (\u201cTLP<\/strong>\u201d) floating offshore wind
\nturbines (the \u201cProject<\/strong>\u201d).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the Japanese government has set a goal of increasing
\noffshore wind power generation capacity, including floating offshore wind, to 30\u201345 GW by 2040.
\nBecause Japan has limited shallow-water sites where the bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines
\nnow being developed around the world can be installed, there is a strong domestic demand for
\npractical floating offshore wind turbines that can be installed in deep water further from shore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TLP systems are expected to reduce the cost of power generation because the high stability
\nof tension mooring to a seafloor foundation enables installation of large 15 MW-class wind turbines,
\nwhich have the potential to become mainstream in the future, on compact floating platforms.
\nIn addition, TLP mooring lines are expected to be more socially acceptable than other mooring systems
\nbecause they can reduce the space occupied under the sea by 1\/1,000 approximately and have less
\nimpact on existing businesses such as the fishing industry and ship operations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Project aims to establish component technologies for TLP floating and mooring systems
\nand subsea power transmission systems with the aim of commercializing floating wind farms
\nin the early 2030s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The four companies will jointly conduct component technology development under contract from NEDO
\nfor two years beginning in April 2022. JERA will conduct surveys and measurement of the planned
\nverification site, design power generation facilities, and establish environmental parameters.
\nIn addition to conducting simulations and demonstrations of component technologies previously studied
\nby each company\u2014floating and mooring systems by MODEC, mooring foundations by Toyo Construction,
\nand power transmission systems by Furukawa Electric\u2014a basic plan for a 15 MW-class power generation
\ndemonstration facility will be drawn up based on design and environmental parameters provided by JERA.
\nThe four companies will also begin considering supply chains for mass production and cost reduction
\nwith the aim of realizing commercial projects following the power generation demonstration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toyo Construction raises the offshore-wind-power related business as a \u201cgrowth driver\u201d and
\nis promoting the business to make it our future core business. Particularly, we put priority and
\nfocus on developing technologies for lowering costs related to the offshore wind power generation
\nbusiness. In this business, we will contribute to the spread of offshore wind power generation in the
\nfuture in Japan with maximized utilization of our rich track record in the design and construction of
\noffshore structure.<\/p>\n
