Wind Energy – Japan
Vestas has received a 315 MW order for the Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Wind Project in Akita Prefecture, Japan.
The project is being developed by Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Green Energy LLC., a consortium consisting of JERA Co., Electric Power Development Co. (J-POWER), Tohoku Electric Power Co., and ITOCHU Corp.
The order includes 21 V236-15.0 MW turbines as well as a long-term service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.
This marks Vestas’ first firm order for its industry-leading V236-15.0 MW turbine in the Asia Pacific region, as well as our first firm order for a project to be developed under the Japanese government’s offshore wind auctions based on the Renewable Energy Sea Area Utilization Act.
The project site is located off the coast of Oga city, Katagami city, and Akita city in Akita prefecture. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2026, while commissioning is planned in 2027.
The wind farm is scheduled to begin operations in June 2028.
