The 139 MW Akita Noshiro wind farm is the first large-scale offshore wind power project in Japan established on a commercial basis, and is the first in history to deploy a large offshore wind installation vessel in the sea area of Japan, Marubeni Corporation, the largest shareholder in the project, said.
Akita Offshore Wind Corporation started the construction in February 2020 and expects to finish the offshore foundation installation work in 2021.
From there, they will begin the installation of the 33 Vestas V117 – 4.2 MW wind turbine units at Akita Port and Noshiro Port in April 2022, with the goal of commencing commercial operation within 2022.
