Support for Renewable Energy Introduction

We were providing services for introducing renewable energy throughout Japan even before renewable energy became as commonplace as it is today. We draw on our abundant store of achievements, experiences, and technologies to assist in the introduction of various renewable energies through zoning and other study-based services.

Markets and Trends

Renewable energy is an effective pathway to decarbonization and contributes to improving Japan’s energy self-sufficiency. Because it can also function as a distributed and stand-alone power source, it supports energy supply during disasters and promotes the sustainable development of local communities, making its deployment increasingly important.
Although renewables face challenges—such as grid-connection constraints associated with variable output, environmental impacts, and the shrinking availability of suitable sites—they remain indispensable for both achieving a carbon-neutral society and enhancing energy security. Accordingly, further expansion of renewable energy is strongly anticipated.

01
Observation services (wind surveys, etc.)
The availability of wind—a renewable resource—varies significantly by region and directly affects project profitability; therefore, accurately characterizing site-specific conditions such as wind speed and direction is essential for the successful development of wind-power projects.
We draw on the expertise and know-how we have cultivated since the 1990s to deliver high-precision wind-resource measurement services at prospective onshore and offshore wind sites. Employing state-of-the-art equipment—such as met masts and Doppler lidars—and advanced analytical methods, we provide accurate assessments of wind conditions. From choosing optimal observation points and instruments in the early development stages to collecting, analyzing, and evaluating the data, we offer seamless, end-to-end support.
Service Examples
On-site wind observations with meteorological masts (site selection, review of observation specifications, installation of observation equipment, data management, removal of observation equipment, data analysis and assessment)
On-site wind observations with Doppler lidar (site selection, review of observation specifications, installation of observation equipment, data management, removal of observation equipment, data analysis and assessment, correlation analysis with meteorological masts)
02
Abundance/potential studies (zoning, etc.)
Renewable energy power plants require the selection of appropriate sites with consideration for natural and social conditions. This selection is based on the accurate identification and estimation of the available amounts of wind, solar radiation, and the like.
We leverage our extensive experience with geographic information systems (GIS) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to provide highly accurate potential assessments and site-selection studies for renewable-energy projects.
Service Examples
Site selection and zoning for renewable energy projects based on existing data such as wind conditions, solar radiation, and various natural and social factors
Preliminary surveys and assessments of wind and meteorological conditions
Zoning for renewable energy
Zoning for renewable energy projects is an initiative that involves comprehensive evaluation of specific areas—such as conservation zones and areas for renewable energy development—based on both environmental protection and the promotion of renewable energy. This process considers discussions and coordination with relevant stakeholders. Model projects led by the Ministry of the Environment and various local governments are actively promoting such zoning initiatives.
Particularly, for offshore wind power projects, it is important to consider various environmental and social factors to identify regions with high development potential and to designate priority development areas as well as zones where development is restricted for conservation purposes. These efforts facilitate the efficient and responsible promotion of renewable energy.
03
Studies for the sale or purchase of power generation facilities
When power plants are bought or sold, the assets move through multiple phases—from planning and construction to operation and eventual handover—so it is crucial to assess technical asset value and risks at every stage.
We serve as a technical consultant, providing a comprehensive range of services, including updated energy-yield forecasts, technical due diligence, technical reviews of contractual documents, and evaluations of operation and maintenance (O&M) practices.
Service Examples
Studies and assessments of renewable energy power plants after the start of commercial operation
Studies and assessments of renewable energy power plants at the planning and construction phases
Studies and assessments of renewable energy power plants for replacement
