Japanese energy firms Japan’s Electric Power Development (J-Power) and Kansai Electric Power are investing a total of almost £1bn in innogy’s Triston Knoll offshore wind project.

The UK project is worth a total of £2bn and is located off the coast of Lincolnshire. It is set to have a capacity of 860MW and construction will begin next year.

Innogy won the contract from the UK government and has now sold 41% of its stake to the two Japanese businesses. J-Power will take 25% while Kansai will take 16%.
