On July 30, the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry announced four locations for consideration of future offshore wind plants and Goto City in Nagasaki Prefecture was included. Geological research will begin for each location, and if the country and the local organizations such as fishery associations reach an agreement, the sites will be officially appointed as a “promotional district.” The ministry aims to decide on those districts by the end of the fiscal year of 2019 and seek bids from construction companies.
