Norwegian Company Grows Its Operations Beyond Europe as Tokyo Gas Begins Utilizing Its Digital Platform for Offshore Wind Farm Projects.
Tokyo Gas has started using a digital platform for offshore wind project development from Vind AI. The Norwegian tech company claims that its platform allows developers to create business cases for offshore wind projects more than five times quicker.
Vind AI’s platform aids developers in assessing and designing wind power projects, combining data, advanced algorithms, analytical tools, and collaboration features to greatly expedite wind farm development.
Although Vind AI has already supplied its platform to offshore wind developers in Europe, such as TotalEnergies, EnBW, and Statkraft, this marks its first contract in Japan.
Tokyo Gas has several offshore wind projects in progress, including floating wind farms, and is a member of the Floating Offshore Wind Research Association (FLOWRA), established in Japan last year.
Last year, the Japanese company purchased a 21.2 percent share in WindFloat Atlantic, the 25.2 MW floating wind farm operational since 2020 in Portugal, managed by Windplus, a subsidiary largely owned by Ocean Winds.
In December 2024, Tokyo Gas and its partners BP, Marubeni Corporation, Kansai Electric Power, and Marutaka Corporation received rights to develop a 450 MW offshore wind project in Japan’s territorial waters.
The fixed-bottom wind farm is proposed to be located 2-5 kilometers off the coast of Yuza Town in Yamagata Prefecture.
Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions (TGES), the company’s engineering subsidiary, signed a collaboration agreement last year with James Fisher and Sons to jointly provide construction and operations and maintenance (O&M) services for Japan’s offshore wind sector.
