Vestas has secured a 40MW turbine order with Japan Wind Development (JWD) for the Hirado Minami wind project.
The project, in Japan’s Nagasaki prefecture, includes the supply and supervision of 11 V105-3.6MW turbines, delivered with customised 72.5-metre towers.
Turbine deliveries will begin in the second quarter of 2021, with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Vestas will also service the turbines.
Vestas said the turbines will “accommodate the extreme local wind conditions, whilst simultaneously minimising visual impact due to the site’s natural beauty”.
Vestas Asia Pacific president Clive Turton said: “We are very pleased to have been awarded this project and thereby continue our collaboration with Japan Wind Development.
“Securing this order within weeks of the first order demonstrates JWD’s continued trust and confidence in Vestas and our ability to provide customised solutions.
“With the momentum we are gaining in the Japanese market, Vestas is ready and committed to support the country’s growing ambition to increase renewable energy sources.”
