In this project, three floating wind turbines and one floating power sub-station will be installed off the coast of Fukushima. The first phase of the project consists of one 2MW floating wind turbine, the world first 25MVA floating substation and undersea cable, and will be completed in 2013. In the second phase
two world largest 7MW wind turbines will be installed before 2015.

This project will establish the business-model of the floating wind farm and contribute to future commercial projects. The consortium members are also expected to learn know-how of floating offshore wind farm, which will be one of the major export industries in Japan.

The Fukushima FORWARD project believes to help Fukushima to become the center of new industry which will create new employment in this region to recover from the damage of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.
