J-Power signed development agreement for 200 MW wind farm in Australia

J-POWER has signed an agreement with Genex Power Limited for joint development on the 200 MW Kidston Stage-3 Wind Project (K3W) in Australia.

Located in the Kidston area, Queensland,  the project is part of the Kidston renewable energy hub that consists of a wind farm, a 250 MW K2-Hydro pumped storage and a 50 MW K2-Solar facility. 

J-POWER and Genex, guided by their memorandum of understanding concluded in November 2020 on the development of new wind power projects, have conducted initial assessments, including wind and environmental surveys, and land negotiations at candidate sites for the K3W project. Based on the joint development agreement concluded at this time, J-POWER and Genex will accelerate development by making full use of J-POWER’s experience in wind power generation, including turbine selection and acquiring construction permits and licenses, with the aim of starting construction in 2023 and beginning operations in 2025.
