Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has secured a 134MW wind turbine order from Invenergy in Japan.

The wind turbines will be installed at Inaniwa Wind Energy Center, located in Iwate prefecture.

This is the largest order that Vestas has received in Japan.

The company will supply and install 32 of its V117-4.2MW turbines.

The Danish wind turbine maker has also signed a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for the wind turbines.

Vestas Asia Pacific president Purvin Patel stated: “We are pleased to partner again with Invenergy in Japan and provide our industry-leading wind energy solutions for [this] milestone project, which is the largest onshore wind project to date for Vestas in Japan.

“By leveraging our expertise and knowledge in wind, we look forward to further contributing to Japan’s carbon neutrality goal, through collaborations with our customers.”

Deliveries for the Inaniwa Wind Energy Center are scheduled to commence in the first half of 2027, with the project’s commissioning expected in the first quarter of 2028.

Vestas has installed more than 1.18GW of wind turbines across Japan.

Invenergy senior vice-president and Japan head Masa Oya stated: “Invenergy continues to advance a pipeline of projects in Japan to meet the needs of customers and communities as the demand for carbon-free power increases.

“We are proud to work with Vestas on this sizeable order and look forward to delivering another clean energy project in Japan that contributes to the country’s clean energy goals and invests in communities.”

In September 2024, Vestas received an 810MW wind turbine order for the Empire Wind 1 project.
