"However, some of the companies that lost out in the bidding process complained that the criteria were too cost-oriented."
Well. There is my smile for the morning.

It seems it will be better for Japan by reducing its dependency on oil/ gas imports, and better for the World, global environment as such wind farms will reduce CO2 greenhouse gasses (which add to global warming and add to unwanted climate change) . . . .

Didn't Japan close down the world's biggest wind farm off the coast of Fukushima a couple of years ago after interference from the nuclear village?
A project that cost a huge amount of public money,by the way,that was supposed to show how advanced Japan was and to show how unreliant on nuclear power it was.

The Japanese are not proactive but reactive.
Politicians are too tied to gravy trains linked to big business and the voting population is ignored!
Anyone could see this coming years and years ago,

Locally produced green energy slows down global warming, provides useful jobs, and reduces petroleum and coal imports. In the case of off-shore wind farms, artificial reefs are created, which are good for both fish and fishermen.

“Aims”? Just do it. Japan is so far behind other countries with this.

Japan is a resource poor country so why isn’t it a leader in green technologies?

Japan is not a resource poor country, it's an oil and gas resource poor country. The two things are not the same
Depends on the resources you want to focus on. If Japan would focus on what it has it wouldn't be so dependent on others. Wind farms and wave generation would be gold in Japan.
Green energy opportunities everywhere
hydrothermal most cities are on the coastlines
geothermal natural to the country
pumped storage as most towns are on alluvial plains from nearby mountains
producer of solar panels same tech as making tv's can be scaled up
modern insulation and no more kerosene fires
The key to change is trying first
