Orders for wind turbines for onshore wind farms in the Abukuma area of Fukushima Prefecture – EQ Mag Pro
-Delivery of the largest wind turbine in Japan with a total power generation capacity of approximately 147,000 kW-
We will supply 46 wind turbines (147,000 kW in total) for onshore wind power plants Note 1 in the Abukuma area of Fukushima Prefecture from Fukushima Reconstruction Wind GK and a 20-year O & M contract (wind turbines, BOP Note 2 ). I received an order. Construction work on the onshore wind power plant has begun, and we plan to deliver a GE3.2MW wind turbine (model: 3.2-103) to this power plant.
In recent years, the introduction of renewable energy power generation has been expanding all over the world as a measure to tackle the climate change problem. Fukushima Prefecture aims to become a “pioneer of renewable energy” and has set a goal of producing more than 100% of the prefecture’s energy demand with renewable energy by around 2040.
Fukushima Reconstruction Wind Power GK was selected as a business operator in a public offering by Fukushima Prefecture in 2017, and has been promoting the development of this power plant by receiving a subsidy for support project costs from the prefecture. Forty-six wind turbines with a total height of about 148 meters will be installed on the ridgeline of the Abukuma area, which straddles Tamura City, Okuma Town, Namie Town, and Katsurao Village, Fukushima Prefecture, and is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2025 as the largest onshore wind power plant in Japan. increase. The total power generation capacity of this power plant is approximately 147,000 kilowatts, and the estimated annual power generation is equivalent to the power consumption of approximately 120,000 households.
We have strengths in the installation and operation of renewable energy power generation facilities such as wind power and solar power, connection to transmission and transformation networks, and engineering capabilities in Japan. In addition, the GE3.2MW wind turbine is highly efficient and reliable, and has a large number of delivery records in Japan. Our technological capabilities and the track record of GE’s wind turbines have been highly evaluated, and we have received this large-scale order.
Taking this order as an opportunity, we will accelerate the business development for onshore wind power in Japan and contribute to the spread of wind power generation in Japan and the realization of carbon neutrality.
Note 1 Consists of Abukuma Wind Power Plant No. 1, Abukuma Wind Power Plant No. 2, Abukuma Wind Power Plant No. 3, and Abukuma Wind Power Plant No. 4.
Note 2 BOP (Balance of plant): Peripheral equipment other than wind turbines at power plants
