The government has designated offshore wind power generation, which is aimed at expanding its introduction, as a new area to be focused on offshore of Akita Prefecture.
To realize a carbon-free society, the government is aiming to expand the introduction of "offshore wind power generation," which enables stable power generation.
However, in addition to technical issues, it is difficult to adjust the rights to use the sea, so the amount of offshore wind power actually generated at this time is very small.
Under these circumstances, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism have newly designated 3200 hectares of sea area off the coast of Happo Town and Noshiro City in Akita Prefecture as "promotion areas" for promoting offshore wind power generation on the 13th.
If selected as a "promotion area", the power generation company will be able to use it for up to 30 years without applying to the local government at regular intervals to use the sea area.
We believe that it will be easier for businesses to make long-term plans, and the government can expect expansion of introduction.
In addition, as the next division toward the promotion area, "promising areas",
▽ "Oga City, Katagami City and Akita City Oki"
▽ "Yuza Town Oki Yamagata Prefecture"
▽ "Murakami City and Womb City, Niigata Prefecture" "Oki"
▽ "
Oki,
Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture" was announced together.
Once in a "promising area," a council with the government can be set up to coordinate with local fishermen and others.
