We recently released a new Aegir Wavelength episode diving deep into the costs dynamics and cost-out potential for fixed-bottom offshore wind in Japan.

Here is what we covered:

🔹A like-for-like comparison of current CAPEX costs levels for fixed-bottom in Japan compared to European markets, and why the cost gap exists.

🔹How the key reforms shaping 2026 as a make-or-break year for Japan's offshore wind industry can contribute.

🔹Where the real cost-out potential lies on the road from a project with COD 2030 towards a project with COD 2040 in Japan.
