Nov.02.2022, Shanghai ------ Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), One of Japan’s biggest companies is teaming up with Scottish offshore wind developer, Flotation Energy. TEPCO Renewable Power, Inc. signed a contract with the shareholders of Flotation Energy (headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK), which engages in offshore wind power mainly in the UK, to purchase 100% of its issued shares to TEPCO Renewable Power, Inc. This is our first investment in overseas wind power.
TEPCO is Japan’s largest electricity utility; and one of the largest in the world. Its subsidiary, TEPCO Renewable Power, has a generating capacity of 9.9 GW of renewable energy in Japan. This is TEPCOs first major venture into offshore wind markets in the UK and overseas. Flotation Energy will become part of the TEPCO Group.

​The Flotation Energy team is well known for pioneering floating offshore wind and energy transition projects. Its founders Allan MacAskill and Lord Nicol Stephen developed Kincardine, the world’s largest floating windfarm. The company is growing quickly, with the focus on delivering more than 12 GW of commercial scale fixed and floating offshore wind farms and has plans to expand into many more key markets. Flotation Energy is already a Joint Venture Partner in the UK Round 4 Morecambe Project; and White Cross 100 MW floating project in the Celtic Sea.

With TEPCO’s experience and its resources, Flotation Energy is in an even stronger position to help decarbonise countries around the globe.

Renewable energy is central to supporting the UK’s ambitions to lead the world in combatting climate change, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and embracing a future where renewable energy powers our homes and businesses. This new venture will be at the heart of this energy transiton.
