Japan holds vast potential for offshore wind power, but its plans to build a major industry have underperformed. Rising costs and environmental concerns have slowed development, dashing earlier expectations that offshore wind would become a cornerstone of the country's energy transition. Industry observers point to emerging, cutting-edge technologies as a possible way to address at least some of the obstacles holding projects back.
Why now: New reporting on why Japan's offshore wind sector has fallen short of expectations is drawing attention amid ongoing energy policy debates.
