Vestas, The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Manufacturer, Awakens A New Era Of Clean Energy In Japan And Drives Global Energy Transformation
In the vibrant landscape of renewable energy, Vestas, a Danish company and global leader in wind energy solutions, has just secured a supply contract for 25 wind turbines of 9.5 MW each for the Kitakyushu-Hibikinada project, the first offshore wind farm in Japan. The contract was awarded by Hibiki Wind Energy, a joint venture formed by five Japanese companies aiming to develop and operate the project.
The Kitakyushu-Hibikinada offshore wind farm project will be equipped with 25 Vestas V174-9.5MW wind turbines, the most powerful in operation in Japan. These turbines have a rotor diameter of 174 meters and a total height of 265 meters. They are designed to withstand extreme sea conditions, such as strong winds, high waves, and earthquakes.
With a total capacity of 238 MW, this innovative initiative will significantly boost clean energy production in the region.
