TEPCO-led consortium wins NEDO backing for concrete floating offshore wind floater cost-cut project
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.TEPCO, Taisei, and Hokkaido Electric have secured NEDO backing for a concrete floating offshore wind R&D program. Running from July 2026 to March 2028, the project aims to reduce generation costs through improved design, manufacturing, and maintenance of concrete semi-submersible floaters. Key activities include manufacturing validation using precast column rings, durability testing, and fiber-optic crack monitoring. The initiative targets the commercialization of Japan’s first concrete semi-submersible floater with planned offshore demonstrations.
