Akihabara News (Tokyo) \u2014 Toyota Tsusho, a Nagoya-based trading company, has begun construction of a 540MW wind farm on the northern tip of Hokkaido, according to a report by the Nikkei.<\/p>\n
While the companies involved in this project have yet to release their own information, the Nikkei states that the partners aim to send some of this electricity to energy-hungry Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Aside from Toyota Tsusho, the other partners are Cosmo Eco Power, a Tokyo-based wind power firm, and Looop, a Tokyo-based electric power retail business.<\/p>\n
Power generated at the plant, according to the Nikkei, will be sold to major power companies under a feed-in tariff scheme, and it will include a large-scale battery storage system.<\/p>\n
This project, aiming to begin operations next year, will double Hokkaido\u2019s wind-power capacity.<\/p>\n
The report does not explain how the partners intend to overcome the low-capacity electricity transmission link between Hokkaido and Honshu.<\/p>\n
