Exploring the Development Plans for Offshore Wind Power at Green Energy Port Hibiki
On March 11, 2026, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host a seminar in Tokyo featuring Yuji Mitsutake, Director of the Kitakyushu Port and Airport Bureau. This event aims to elaborate on the development plans for the Green Energy Port Hibiki and floating base, outlining the city’s ambitious goals for establishing a comprehensive hub for offshore wind power. Based on the achievements of the initial phase, which began in 2011, this seminar will provide insights into the ongoing initiatives and future directions planned until 2030.
The Green Energy Port Hibiki (GEPH) aims to be a strategic center for offshore wind energy. The first phase (ACT I) focused on basic environmental preparations and the development of Japan's largest wind farm. Now, as GEPH transitions into the second phase (ACT II), the emphasis will shift towards the development of floating bases and building manufacturing industry hubs, which will facilitate supply chain construction and logistics development essential for offshore operations.
The seminar will include a question-and-answer session with the speaker, providing a rare chance for direct interaction that typically isn't available in conventional settings. This interactive format facilitates valuable networking opportunities as participants from various industries gather to exchange insights, leading to potential collaborations.
Participation is strictly limited to in-person attendees, ensuring a closer connection with the presenter and other attendees. The seminar registration fee is set at 37,470 yen (tax included), and a special offer allows one additional participant from the same organization to attend for free, with prior registration required.
Participants can also expect to engage meaningfully with the content, addressing their inquiries directly during the session. It’s an exceptional occasion for building personal networks and discovering new business opportunities.
