MHI Vestas has confirmed that its flagship V174-9.5 MW was selected as the preferred turbine for the Hibikinada Offshore Wind Farm.
Hibikinada is the first awarded, commercial-scale project to be announced in Japan.
“It is a great honour for MHI Vestas Offshore Wind to be confirmed as preferred wind turbine supplier for the Hibikinada Offshore Wind Farm off the southwest coast of Japan,” said MHI Vestas CEO, Philippe Kavafyan. “Relying on our strong parent company, MHI, we will bring our flagship V174-9.5 MW technology and recognized offshore wind experience to serve Japan’s ambitious renewable energy development plans.”
The landmark project will be developed by Hibiki Wind Energy, a consortium of five partners comprising Kyuden Mirai Energy Co Inc, Kyudenko Corp, Hokutaku Renewable Energy Service, Electric Power Development Co Ltd (better known as J-Power) and Saibu Gas.
MHI Vestas, a joint venture between Vestas Wind Systems and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has established a local entity in Tokyo to manage construction and service activities in Japan.
