Toshiba, GE to build offshore wind equipment supply chain in Japan, Nikkei says

Toshiba (TOSYY) aims to form a supply chain for offshore wind turbines in Japan, Nikkei has learned, with an eye toward creating a network of 100 suppliers with General Electric (GE). The partners will provide assistance ranging from developing components to production, soliciting smaller companies in such areas as Akita, in Japan’s northwest, that have conditions suited for offshore wind power, Nikkei’s Aya Onishi writes.
