On February 20, 2024, at the request of the Akita Convention and Visitors Bureau, we presented an overview of our being-developed offshore wind power project at the seminar organized by the Bureau for the promotion of tourism for offshore wind farm. The Bureau aims to contribute to the revitalization of the local economy and the cultural improvement by attracting various conventions and tourists, and total 30 Akita City tourist guides and taxi drivers participated in the seminar.
The participants expressed high interest in and expectations for the offshore wind power project, by making questions about the wind turbine and its seismic resistance, and a request to continue the project even after the end of occupancy period.
In Akita, which is actively promoting the expansion of renewable energy, we will work toward gaining the local acceptance for our offshore wind power project, which we wish to eventually lead to the promotion of tourism.
