Two studies commissioned by the European Commission conclude that Japan would benefit from simplifying rules related to offshore wind energy tendering and from removing restrictions on foreign vessels’ access to work on offshore wind energy projects.

The two studies continue a series of studies commissioned by the EU Delegation to Japan on offshore wind energy sector.
