Vestas has secured a 42 MW order with Toko Electrical Construction Co., Ltd. for the Miyagi Kami Wind Farm in Miyagi prefecture, Japan. Owned by Japan Renewable Energy Corporation, the wind project will be constructed by Toko Electrical Construction Co., Ltd. and will feature ten V117-4.0 MW turbines in 4.2 MW operating mode with 94-meter towers. 

Vestas will service the turbines under a 20-years Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreements for the wind farm, providing an energy-based availability guarantee to ensure optimised performance  and long-term business case certainty for the customer.

Delivery of Vestas’ turbines will begin in the first quarter of 2023, with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.

In Turkey, Vestas has received a 66 MW order for a wind project. 

The contract includes the supply and installation of eleven V162-6.0 MW wind turbines, as well as a 15-year Active Output Management 4000 (AOM 4000) service agreement.

With a swept area of over 20,000m², the V162-6.0 MW applies the largest rotor size in Vestas’ onshore product portfolio to achieve industry-leading energy production paired with a high capacity factor. 

“With the V162-6.0 MW, Vestas continues to drive down the cost of energy and increase the annual energy production of our customers’ projects. We are glad to see how the EnVentus platform enters the Turkish wind energy market and expands its footprint across markets globally.”, says General Manager of Vestas Turkey, Olcayto Yigit.  

Vestas installed Turkey’s first wind turbine in 1984 and has since then delivered over 1.8 GW of wind capacity to the country. 

The project and customer are undisclosed.
