據(jù)能源之聲4月8日消息稱，JERA是世界上最大的液化天然氣(LNG)買家，該公司在一份聲明中表示，從北海道到日本東北地區(qū)，日本海上有利的風(fēng)力條件使其成為一個(gè)有潛力的地區(qū)，有許多地點(diǎn)適合海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電。

該公司表示：“在秋田縣，目前正在根據(jù)《促進(jìn)海域利用以開發(fā)海洋可再生能源發(fā)電設(shè)施法案》，競標(biāo)開發(fā)海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電項(xiàng)目(能代市、Mitane鎮(zhèn)、Oga市和由利本荘市)。JERA的目標(biāo)是與其商業(yè)伙伴一起參與。”

JERA補(bǔ)充說：“因?yàn)镴ERA相信秋田縣作為先發(fā)者，將成為國內(nèi)海上風(fēng)電行業(yè)信息和人力資源積累的樞紐，因此成立了秋田辦事處，以考慮開發(fā)海上風(fēng)電項(xiàng)目，收集信息并與日本東北地區(qū)的當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)進(jìn)行交流。”

該辦公室將以少量員工啟動(dòng)，但隨著業(yè)務(wù)的發(fā)展，規(guī)模有望擴(kuò)大。

JERA補(bǔ)充說:“為了成為全球可再生能源的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，JERA將在當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)和其他利益相關(guān)者的理解與合作下，積極推動(dòng)日本和海外的大型海上風(fēng)力發(fā)電項(xiàng)目，從而為社會實(shí)現(xiàn)脫碳做出貢獻(xiàn)。”

JERA是由東京電力公司的全資子公司TEPCO Fuel＆Power與日本中部電力公司對半持股的合資企業(yè)，成立于2015年4月。

JERA, World’s Largest LNG Buyer, Sets Up Offshore Wind Base

Favorable wind conditions along the Japan Sea from Hokkaido to Tohoku make it a promising area with many locations suitable for offshore wind power generation, JERA, which is also the world’s largest buyer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), said in a statement.

“In Akita Prefecture, bidding for the development of offshore wind power projects (off Noshiro City, Mitane Town, and Oga City and off Yurihonjo City) is now being conducted under the Act on Promoting the Utilization of Sea Areas for the Development of Marine Renewable Energy Power Generation Facilities. JERA aims to participate together with its business partners,” the company said.

“Because JERA believes that Akita Prefecture, as a first-mover, will become a hub for the accumulation of information and human resources related to the domestic offshore wind industry, it has established the Akita Office to consider the development of offshore wind power projects, to collect information, and to communicate with local communities in the Tohoku region,” JERA added.

The office will launch with a small number of employees but is expected to grow in scale as the business develops.

“Aiming to become a global leader in renewable energy, JERA will actively promote large-scale offshore wind power generation projects in Japan and overseas with the understanding and cooperation of local communities and other stakeholders, thereby helping to contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society,” JERA added.

JERA is 50-50 joint venture between TEPCO Fuel & Power, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Power Company, and Chubu Electric Power, founded in April 2015.
