The announcement of the U.K.-Japan Offshore Wind Industrial Compact came in mid-June 2026 during Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s visit to the United Kingdom. The compact targets the country’s offshore wind energy sector. It enables projects expected to generate 5.9 gigawatts of power.
Japan-supported projects are projected to produce enough energy to power 8 million U.K. homes, The Japan Times reported. The United Kingdom has one of the highest fuel poverty rates in northern Europe. It also faces further energy price increases due to conflict in the Middle East.
