〜"Tokyo Bay eSG Project” is now a reality, showcasing the potential of local renewable energy production at sea in Japan through the application of cutting-edge technology.〜
Tokyu Land Corporation (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroaki Hoshino) and SolarDuck B.V.(“SolarDuck”, Head Office: Rotterdam, the Netherlands; CEO: Koen Burgers), in collaboration with Kyocera Communication Systems Corporation, have completed the installation of Japan's first offshore floating solar photovoltaic (OFPV) power plant on the sea surface under the Tokyo Bay eSG Project (the "Project"), an initiative of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Policy Planning Bureau.
This project is a demonstration project by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government that aims to realize the world's most advanced energy generation and transmission from the Tokyo Bay Area. SolarDuck, together with Everblue Technologies, Inc. were selected in November 2022 in the field of "cutting-edge renewable energy" and have been working on the demonstration. Over the course of FY2024, the two companies will conduct demonstrations of power generation using OFPV power generation facilities, storage of electricity in batteries on the ground, and transportation of the storage batteries.
