Japan has passed a significant milestone in the development of its floating wind sector with the completion of eight turbines near the Goto Islands in the south-west of the archipelago. The project, which is expected to enter commercial operation in January, is the country’s first to reach this scale. It relies on floating structures that are better suited to the local seabed topography, marked by deep waters close to the coast.
