Cowi has supported the certification of the Oga, Katagami and Akita City offshore wind project in Japan. The project developer, Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Green Energy, has received a certificate of conformity from Bureau Veritas Japan, confirming that the design of the wind power facilities complies with Japanese technical standards and regulatory requirements.
Located offshore Akita Prefecture, the project will comprise 21 turbines in the 15 MW class, with a total installed capacity of 315 MW. Cowi worked with Kajima Corporation and Kobori Research Complex on the preliminary and detailed design of the project's monopile foundations and transition pieces. With the certification in place, the project will now move into the next phase of development.
