Vestas develops wind energy solution for two high-wind sites in Japan
TOKYO, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

 In partnership with Tokyu Land Corporation and Japan Wind Development, Vestas 
has secured a 76 MW order for Chitose Wind Farm and Noheji Mutsuwan Wind Farm 
in the Aomori prefecture of Japan.

Due to the typhoon and earthquake prone environment of the region, extended 
collaboration between all project partners was required when designing a 
turbine solution to maximise wind capture in the sites' challenging wind and 
weather conditions. 

The order includes the supply and supervision of four V117-3.45 MW and six 
V105-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode at Chitose Wind 
Farm, as well as eleven V105-3.45 MW turbines in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode at 
Noheji Mutsuwan Wind Farm.

With a robust design for tough wind sites, the turbine variants are well-suited 
for the sites' challenging climatic conditions and all turbines will feature 
customised 94m towers to accommodate seismic loads, high turbulence and extreme 
windspeeds.

Vestas will also provide multi-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) 
service agreements for both wind farms. With an energy-based availability 
guarantee, the agreement will ensure optimised performance and long-term 
business certainty.

Delivery of Vestas' turbines will begin in the first quarter of 2021 with 
commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021. 

"Projects like Chitose and Noheji Mutsuwan wind farms demonstrate Vestas' 
market experience, broad service solutions, and extensive supply chain to 
provide the best return of investment for the lifecycle of a wind farm," says 
Clive Turton, President of Vestas Asia Pacific. "We are proud that customers 
all throughout our region can turn to Vestas' broad range of industry-leading 
and cost-efficient energy solutions".

"We are grateful to partner with Vestas and Japan Wind Development on our first 
project in the Aomori prefecture, and the company's eighth wind park. We would 
like to express our sincere gratitude for this opportunity and look forward to 
strengthening the relationship with both companies to further expand our 
opportunities", says a spokesperson from Tokyu Land Corporation.

"We are excited to partner with Vestas and Tokyu Land Corporation to develop 
Chitose and Noheji Mutsuwan Wind Farm. We are confident that the project will 
be a great success with the strong capabilities among the partners. JWD will 
continue to contribute to local economies through the development and 
operations of wind farms", says a spokesperson from Japan Wind Development.

Vestas installed its first turbines in Japan in 1995 and has since then 
installed a total of 650 MW, making Vestas the leading wind energy provider in 
the Japanese market.
