Toyotomi Wind Energy LLC ("the project company"), a joint venture between Looop Inc. (Head Office: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President & Representative Director: Soichiro Nakamura; "Looop") and Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (Head Office: Higashi-ku, Nagoya; President & Director: Kingo Hayashi; "Chubu Electric Power"), has today begun construction of Wind Farm Toyotomi ("the power plant").
The power plant is a 30,000kW onshore wind power plant to be constructed in Toyotomi-cho Teshio-gun, Hokkaido, and is scheduled to start operation in April 2024.
Looop's vision is to create a "Free-Energy Society". In April 2022, the company announced "Renewable Electricity Declaration" and expressed the commitment to promote renewable energy in order to increase Japan's energy self-sufficiency and reduce its costs. The construction of this power plant is positioned as one of the key projects in Looop's roadmap for promoting renewable energy.
The Chubu Electric Power Group is aggressively developing renewable energy throughout Japan with the goal of expanding it by 3.2 million kW or more by around 2030. The construction of the power plant will be the first renewable energy development project in Hokkaido for Chubu Electric Power.
Together with the understanding and cooperation of the local community and other stakeholders, both investment companies as well as the project company will proceed with the construction work, placing safety as the highest priority.
