Akihabara News (Tokyo) — GE Renewable Energy has announced that it will be the supplier of wind turbines for an onshore wind farm in Fukaura town, Aomori Prefecture.
This wind farm will be built by Green Power Investment (GPI), a Tokyo-based developer and operator of renewable energy assets.
GE Renewable Energy will provide nineteen of its 4.2MW onshore wind turbines for a total installed capacity of 79.8 MW.
GE Chief Commercial Officer of Onshore Wind International Gilan Sabatier, stated, “We have already had the opportunity to work together with GPI in Japan, so this project is a tremendous next chapter in our growing relationship. Working with GPI, we believe that this project will strengthen Japan’s ambitious carbon neutral commitments and provide Japanese consumers with affordable, reliable, and clean energy for the future.”
The site is located in Japan’s snow country along the Sea of Japan coastline. The turbines are being specifically designed to withstand extreme coastal wind conditions.
The installation of the wind turbines is set to start towards the end of next year, with the facility due to be operational in 2024.
