That
represents
an
8.2%
increase
on
the
85MW
of
wind
added
in
the
preceding
12
months.
It
has
a
total
of
about
2.5GW
installed.
Japan
introduced
a
new
feed-in
tariff
for
wind
projects
on
1
July
2012
of
23.1
yen
($0.26)
per
kWh
for
20
years,
up
from
the
roughly
15
yen
being
paid
on
contracts
previously.
JWPA
estimates
that
this
offers
an
IRR
of
7.7%
before
tax.
However,
a
limited
amount
of
space
for
new
onshore
installations,
issues
related
to
grid
access,
time-consuming
environmental
impact
assessments
and
lengthy
project
construction
times
have
weighed…
