Contract Signed with the JFE Engineering–Akita Maritime Service Joint Venture for BOP Maintenance Service

We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a contract with a joint venture formed by JFE Engineering Corporation and Akita Maritime Service Co., Ltd. for the maintenance of the Balance of Plant (BOP) for the offshore wind power project off the coasts of Oga City, Katagami City, and Akita City in Akita Prefecture. BOP refers collectively to the substructure, subsea power cable, onshore substation, grid switching station, onshore transmission lines, and other facilities, excluding the wind turbines themselves.
Through this contract, we aim to ensure proper maintenance of the BOP and stable project operations by leveraging JFE Engineering’s technical expertise and Akita Maritime Service’s local network.
With the understanding and cooperation of local communities and other stakeholders, we will continue our efforts toward the scheduled commencement of commercial operations in June 2028.
