As of March 2024, Japan’s installed capacity of onshore wind stood at 5.9 GW, against the 2030 target of 17.9 GW. Due to local concerns, 9.9 GW has not yet begun operating even after receiving approvals. Installed capacity of offshore wind stood at 0.15 GW, against the 2030 target of 5.7 GW, which includes 5.1 GW (mainly bottom-fixed), now at various stages of development.
