I’m Ye Min, an offshore wind energy professional based in Japan. I work on the technical side of renewable-energy development and write about offshore wind, power systems, energy markets and policy.
01 / About
A technical path into clean energy.
My background combines offshore wind practice with graduate study in renewable energy and an interest in how technical decisions interact with power systems, markets and policy.
My professional work is centered on offshore wind, where I focus on the technical questions that support renewable-energy development and help turn ambitious energy targets into practical projects.
Currently, I am an Offshore Wind Energy Technical Analyst at SSE Pacifico K.K. My academic background includes graduate study at Kyoto University and the University of Malaya, which broadened my perspective on renewable-energy systems and sustainable development.
Alongside my professional work, I use this site to write about topics I want to understand more deeply — from offshore wind and grid integration to electricity markets, policy and the wider transition toward low-carbon energy systems.
