Vestas has confirmed it has received an order to supply V236-15.0MW turbines to the Jera-led 315MW Oga Katagami Akita offshore wind project in Japan.
It will deliver 21 machines to the scheme off the coast of the Akita prefecture during 2026.
Commissioning is planned in 2027, with commercial operations targeted for June 2028.
The wind farm is being developed by a consortium comprising Jera, J-Power, Tohoku Electric Power and Itochu Corp.
The order is the first for Vestas’ V236 15MW model in the Asia Pacific and includes a long-term service agreement.
Vestas Asia Pacific president Purvin Patel said: “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.”
Atsushi Yuihara, representative executive officer for the Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Green Energy consortium, added: “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's local economy.”
