OEG Renewables (OEGR) and Sojitz Machinery Corp (SOMAC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on providing pre-construction, operations and maintenance (O&M), and vessel services to offshore wind projects in Japan.
The combination will draw on OEGR’s experience in offshore energy solutions with SOMAC’s in-country capabilities.
Japan seeks to install 10 GW of capacity by 2030 and up to 35-40 GW by 2040, including from floating offshore wind.
Recently, OEGR completed an O&M program on Ørsted’s Greater Changhua offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
