Akita Yurihonjo
Offshore Wind LLC

Akita Yurihonjo Offshore Wind LLC was established in April 2022 in Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture by 4 companies: Mitsubishi Corporation Offshore Wind Ltd., C-Tech Corp., Venti Japan Inc. and Mitsubishi Corporation, as the entity for developing and operating an offshore wind farm off the coast of Yurihonjyo City, Akita Prefecture.
As a corporate citizen who will continue to operate for 30 years in this neighborhood, we will endeavor to create a new form of power generation business in which we will not only create direct economic and environmental value, but also contribute to solving various social issues facing the region, with utilizing experiences and knowledges of our group companies.

MANAGEMENT MESSAGE

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the understanding and the cooperation we have received from regional stakeholders, including fishermen, local governments and other stakeholders for our project.

The offshore wind power project off the coast of Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, is being developed by 4 companies, Mitsubishi Corporation Offshore Wind, C-Tech Corp.,Venti Japan and Mitsubishi Corporation, which, in fact, have been jointly operating the onshore wind power farm in Akita City and Katagami City, Akita Prefecture since 2020.
The offshore wind power is deemed as a deciding factor for the achievement of a carbon-neutral society by 2050 and is expected to create the new business opportunities with its broad base of supporting industries.
In response to the passion of the regional business alliance who consider the wind in Akita to be a valuable asset and attempt to foster the local businesses for wind power related industries, we will continue to engage in dialogue with regional stakeholders from whom we will “borrow” their sea for a lengthy period of 30 years, and will make every effort to build a new form of power generation business that is rooted in and will prosper together with the local community by the realization of sustainable collaborative measures with the region.
