Wind power in Japan
In Japan's electricity sector, wind power generates a small proportion of the country's electricity. It has been estimated that Japan has the potential for 144 gigawatts (GW) for onshore wind and 608 GW of offshore wind capacity.[1] As of 2023, the country had a total installed capacity of 5.2 GW.
As of 2018, government targets for wind power deployment were relatively low when compared to other countries, at 1.7% of electricity production by 2030.[2]
In December 2020, the Japanese government announced plans to install up to 45 GW of offshore wind power by 2040.[3]
