Eurus CEO Masami Shimizu told The Asahi Shimbun newspaper that the company will invest about 280bn yen ($2.76bn) to help it meet the target.

Eurus currently has about 2.1GW of wind projects in operation around the world, according to its website.

Shimizu told the newspaper that along with the overseas expansion Eurus will try to speed up the development of wind projects on state-owned land in Japan, but wants the approvals process to be shortened significantly.
