Japan’s Noshiro Port offshore wind farm begins commercial operation

Tuesday, January 3 2023

Wind Energy – Japan

Marubeni said that the 84MW Noshiro Port offshore wind farm, a part of the nearly 140MW Akita Noshiro offshore wind farm project in Japan, has commenced commercial operation based on the feed-in tariff (FIT) programme for renewable energy.

The Akita Noshiro offshore wind project is made up of the Akita and Noshiro offshore wind farms.

According to Marubeni, the 54.6MW Akita Port offshore wind farm is presently undergoing commissioning and its commercial operation based on FIT is anticipated in due course.

The Akita Noshiro offshore wind project involves an investment of $750m.

It is expected to be operated and maintained for 20 years by Akita Offshore Wind, which is a special purpose company involving 13 shareholders including Marubeni.

The two offshore wind farms are being implemented by Marubeni at the Akita Port and Noshiro Port in Akita Prefecture.

The construction activities for the offshore wind farm project commenced in February 2020.

In late September 2022, the installation of the last wind turbine at the Akita Port offshore wind farm was completed.

The Akita Noshiro offshore wind project consists of 33 wind turbines, with 20 at the Noshiro Port and 13 at the Akita Port.
