Japan’s Electric Power Development (J-Power) and France’s Engie have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together and develop power projects, particularly large-scale commercial offshore wind projects.

The partnership will look into the development of offshore wind off Japan, including floating offshore wind, and developing “competitive” new technology for the industry.

In addition, the duo will look at other projects in Japan, Europe and other regions, it said, without providing details.
