Eurus Energy Group has started the construction of its 27.35 MW wind project located on the island of Hokkaido in Japan.
Named 'Eurus Tokoro-Notoro Wind Farm', the project will consist of seven 4.3-MW wind turbines supplied by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA. The project is expected to generate enough power for the consumption of up to 20,000 homes and offset about 34,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year.
Hokkaido Electric Power Network Inc will purchase the power that will be generated from the plant.
