GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business has secured an order to supply 14 4.2MW-117m* turbines for the Iwaya and Shitsukari wind farms, developed by Eurus near Higashidori, Aomori, Japan. The order, finalized in Q4 2024, is part of projects expected to achieve commercial operations in 2028.
These wind farms contribute to Japan’s national goal of increasing renewable energy’s share in the electricity mix from 36% to 38% by 2030, as outlined in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s 6th National Electricity Mix. This marks GE Vernova’s fourth order or milestone in Japan since early 2024, increasing its wind energy supply in the country to 1.8 GW. Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer, GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business said, “We appreciate the trust that Eurus has shown in our GE Vernova technology. We are pleased to be able to support them on this project and look forward to continuing to enhance our relationship with them as they work to bring online more renewable energy both in Japan and globally.”
Masaru Akiyoshi, Executive Vice President, Eurus Energy Holdings said, “We are excited to deliver another operating renewable energy project in Japan. We are grateful for the people of Higashidori Village, Aomori, the administrative agencies, all partners and stakeholders who support this project. We look forward to working with GE Vernova to build this new wind farm in Aomori to provide renewable energy, building on our existing collaboration”.
