Eurus Energy Group has completed the reconstruction works of its three wind farms located in the towns of Embetsu, Hamatonbetsu, and Teshio in Hokkaido that had been underway since April 2022. Two of the three wind farms resumed commercial operation on February 2023, and the third wind farm resumed operations on March 1, 2023.
The wind farms gradually terminated operation between February and September 2021, each having reached their 20-year planned commercial operation lives. Eururs upgraded the wind projects by replacing the machines with a single Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy 4.3 MW wind turbine installed at each of the three power plants.
All electricity generated will continue to be sold to the Hokkaido Electric Power Network, Inc., supplying the equivalent of the electricity requirement of approximately 14,000 average households, while reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 10,400 tons per year.
