Siemens Gamesa to supply turbines for 339.7 MW onshore wind farm cluster in Japan

Siemens Gamesa has announced to supply 79 of its industry-leading Typhoon-class onshore wind turbines for the 339.7 MW Dohoku wind farm cluster in Japan. The wind complex consists of four projects to be developed by Eurus Energy, located on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.

Siemens Gamesa will also provide technical field assistance for construction and commissioning of the four wind projects, with expected full commissioning in the second half of 2023. Given that Japan faces very high wind speeds, including typhoons, Siemens Gamesa specifically designed the typhoon-proof onshore turbines based on proven technologies to accommodate the local wind site conditions.

Russell Cato, Managing Director of Siemens Gamesa in Japan, said: “We’re the first company in the industry that has developed 4.3 MW typhoon type certified onshore turbines, which also achieved site-specific Wind Farm Certificate for several Japanese projects too. Equipped with the strongest T-class turbine in the market, we are very pleased to supply this milestone giant project to capture the abundant high winds in Japan and extend our partnership with Eurus Energy over the last more than 20 years with projects both inside and outside of Japan”.

The Dohoku wind farm cluster is the largest of its kind in the country.
