First offshore wind farm in Japan was put into operation

As it was stated by the Marubeni corporation last Thursday, an offshore wind farm set in the port of Noshiro started operating on a basis of the government’s special program for renewable energy. This is the corporation’s first project of such type and scale, which is suitable for public utility needs. The project has been implemented at Akita Port and Noshiro Port in Akita Prefecture, Japan.

The Noshiro Port wind farm, which is the country's first offshore wind farm of this type, started working on December 22 of the current year.

The wind farm is bottom-fixed, and it consists of 33 V117-4.2 MW wind turbines. The Seajacks International company, which specializes in providing offshore installation and servicing, has recently finished installing all 33 wind turbines.

It’s necessary to note that Japan intends to expand its production of wind-generated energy by installing new power plants of similar type with a total capacity of up to 10 GW by the year 2030. The country also plans to increase this capacity to 45 GW by 2040.
