schon wegen der niedrigen Zinsen lohnt sich das ,auch wegen der Bemühungen der japanischen Regierung um alternative Energie und dem Spezialtarif für Offshorewind , und auch weil man die grossen Turbinen und Propeller schlecht transportieren kann.Tanti hat den Namen der Firma,mit der er verhandelt ,aber nicht nennen wollen.
Der Einspeisungstarif für Strom ist doppelt so hoch wie in Deutschland und 85% höher als in Dänemark nämlich JPY 36 (USD 0.347/EUR 0.261) per 1 kWh s.Seenewshttp://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-08-22/...offshore-wind-market.htmlIndia’s Suzlon Energy Ltd. (SUEL) may seek a Japanese partner to make offshore wind turbines, attracted by access to cheap yen loans as projects at sea get costlier and more complex.
Suzlon, whose German unit Senvion SE is the third-biggest supplier of offshore turbines, is in talks with Japanese companies about forming a potential joint venture, Suzlon Chairman Tulsi Tanti said in an interview in Mumbai this week.
“This type of business is very capital-intensive so you must leverage the lowest cost of funds,” said Tanti. “Where is that? Japan and the U.S.,” he said, adding that Japan is also attractive because it introduced an offshore-specific tariff for wind power this year.
Tanti declined to name the Japanese companies Suzlon has approached. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (7270), Hitachi Ltd. (6501) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. have supplied turbines for about 20 megawatts of the world’s 7,110 megawatts of offshore projects as of 2013, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. ....
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government introduced a fixed rate, known as a feed-in tariff, for offshore wind power in April.
That rate of 36,000 yen ($347) a megawatt-hour is double the tariff Germany offers and 85 percent higher than Denmark, according to data compiled by BNEF. That may still not be enough, the London-based researcher said in April, estimating that investors could require about 25 percent more to make a project viable.

Attractive feed-in tariffs (FiTs) for offshore wind power were introduced in April, of JPY 36 (USD 0.347/EUR 0.261) per 1 kWh. According to the Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA), the country is expected to have 75 GW of installed wind power capacity in 2050, both on- and offshore, as compared to an earlier goal of 50 GW.
Cash-strapped Suzlon expects to return to profit in its fourth quarter through March 2015 and pay down most of its INR-80-billion (USD 1.3bn/EUR 996m) debt by the end of fiscal 2014/15, Tanti told business news channel CNBC-TV18 earlier this month. The Indian firm narrowed its net loss to INR 7.56 billion in its first fiscal quarter through June from INR 10.61 billion a year earlier.
