“By leveraging our expertise and knowledge in wind, we look forward to further contributing to Japan’s carbon neutrality goal, through collaborations with our customers.”

Deliveries for the Inaniwa Wind Energy Center are scheduled to commence in the first half of 2027, with the project’s commissioning expected in the first quarter of 2028.

Vestas has installed more than 1.18GW of wind turbines across Japan.

Invenergy senior vice-president and Japan head Masa Oya stated: “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.

“We are proud to work with Vestas on this sizeable order and look forward to delivering another clean energy project in Japan that contributes to the country’s clean energy goals and invests in communities.”

In September 2024, Vestas received an 810MW wind turbine order for the Empire Wind 1 project.
