JERA consortium to test floating offshore technology

JERA Co., Ltd., (“JERA”), together with MODEC, Inc., Toyo Construction Co., Ltd., and Furukawa Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (the “Consortium”), today launched a subsea ground survey (the "Survey") in Ishikari Bay, Hokkaido, in preparation for verification testing of power generation using tension leg platform (“TLP”) floating offshore wind turbines.

The survey is part of the "Project to Develop Cost-Reducing Technology for TLP Floating Offshore Wind Turbines,"* which the consortium was selected to conduct by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) under its Green Innovation Fund program, and aims to understand the geotechnical structure and other characteristics of the seabed, which are necessary in setting the design parameters of TLP... ...
