Eurus Energy Group has completed the reconstruction of 20 MW Eurus Tomamae Wind Farm in Tomamae-cho, Hokkaido, Japan.
The project originally began commercial operation in November 1999. However, after reaching its 20 years planned operation life, commercial operation was temporarily terminated in March 2020 to undergo a complete renewal of its wind turbine generators, administration building, and other facilities. The reconstruction activities commenced in October 2020.
Prior to the replacement, the wind farm consisted of 19 wind turbines with a capacity of 1 MW each, and one unit with a 2 MW, for a total of 20 turbines. The turbines have been replaced by five General Electric 4.2 MW wind turbines. All electricity generated will continue to be sold to the Hokkaido Electric Power Network, Inc., supplying the equivalent of electricity requirement of approximately 14,000 average households.
