Frontier Power has tied up with Japan Interconnector to spearhead its expansion in Asia via a new entity, Frontier Power Asia (currently being established).

Frontier Power Asia, which will be led by Oliver Senter, will look to develop multiple interconnectors and other projects in Japan, Korea and other regions in Asia.

The opportunity set in the region to develop interconnectors and links to offshore wind projects if likely to be large (investment scope in the tens of billions of dollars).

Frontier Power Asia is already in early discussions with partners to develop links between Japan and Korea as well as in South East Asia.
