On 24 September Vestas secured a 134 MW order from Invenergy to supply WTGs to the Inaniwa Wind Energy Centre in Iwate prefecture in Japan. It is Vestas’ largest onshore order to date in the Japanese market.
The order includes supply, and supervising the installation of, 32 units of the V117-4.2 MW model, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 service agreement, designed to bring about optimised performance and long-term business case certainty for the owner.
“Invenergy continues to advance a pipeline of projects in Japan to meet the needs of customers and communities as the demand for carbon-free power increases,” commented Masa Oya, SVP and head of Japan at Invenergy. “We … look forward to delivering another clean energy project in Japan that contributes to the country’s clean energy goals and invests in communities.” Deliveries are expected to begin in the first half of 2027, while commissioning is planned for Q1 2028.
Since its first turbine installation in 1993, Vestas has installed more than 1180 MW of wind turbines in Japan.
