Seoul, 27 December 2024

Vestas has received a 315 MW order for the Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Wind Project in Akita Prefecture, Japan. The project is being developed by Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Green Energy LLC., a consortium consisting of JERA Co., Inc., Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (J-POWER), Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. (Tohoku EPCO), and ITOCHU Corp.

The order includes 21 V236-15.0 MW turbines as well as a long-term service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets.

This marks Vestas' first firm order for its industry-leading V236-15.0 MW turbine in the Asia Pacific region, as well as our first firm order for a project to be developed under the Japanese government's offshore wind auctions based on the Renewable Energy Sea Area Utilization Act.

"We are honoured to partner with JERA, J-POWER, Tohoku EPCO, and ITOCHU on this landmark project for Asia Pacific's offshore wind industry and provide them with our flagship offshore wind technology. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and building the long-term future of the offshore wind market in the Asia Pacific region," said Purvin Patel, President of Vestas Asia Pacific.

Atsushi Yuihara, Representative Executive Officer of Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Green Energy LLC. commented "We are delighted to work with Vestas for this significant project. Through successful delivery and operation of the project, we will contribute to a carbon neutral society in Japan and the revitalisation of Akita' local economy."

Vestas' flagship offshore wind turbine, the V236-15.0 MW is built on proven, world-class technology and received its type certification last year, ensuring safety and quality. Since its launch, Vestas has secured more than 6 GW of firm orders globally, proving the turbine variant's competitiveness across offshore markets.

The project site is located off the coast of Oga city, Katagami city, and Akita city in Akita prefecture. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2026, while commissioning is planned in 2027. The wind farm is scheduled to begin operations in June 2028.
