Renova, a renewable energy developer and independent power producer in Japan, has formed a strategic partnership with Shoreline Wind to enhance the development and pre-development phases of two onshore wind projects. The Reihoku-Amakusa project in Japan is under construction, while the Mabini Wind Power Project in the Philippines is in the pre-development stage.
The Reihoku-Amakusa project involves the installation of 13 wind turbines with a total capacity of 54.6 MW. The project faces logistical challenges, including tidal restrictions at the arrival port, requiring components to be transferred via smaller vessels or barges before reaching land. Japan’s mountainous terrain further limits available space for turbine storage and construction staging, making just-in-time logistics—such as staff coordination and component deliveries—essential to project success.
The Mabini Wind Power Project aims to generate approximately 50 MW from 6 to 8 turbines. Infrastructure development remains a key challenge in the Philippines, with the lack of an arrival port for secondary offshore transport requiring the construction of a temporary landing pad. This adds complexity to logistics, making precise scheduling and efficient resource allocation critical.
Shoreline Wind’s platform supports the projects by analysing data such as weather patterns and logistical constraints to optimise transportation and construction scheduling.
