GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business announced today that it has signed an order to provide 14 4.2MW-117m* turbines for the Iwaya and Shitsukari wind farms being developed by Eurus near Higashidori, Aomori Japan. The order was secured in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the projects are expected to reach commercial operations in 2028.
The projects will enable both companies to support Japan’s goal of increasing the share of the national electricity mix from renewable energy from 36% to 38% by 2030, as outlined by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s 6th National Electricity Mix. The announcement represents the fourth time that GE Vernova has announced an order or milestone in Japan since the beginning of 2024, and will bring the total amount of energy being supplied in the country by GE Vernova wind turbines to 1.8 GW.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer, GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business said, “We appreciate the trust that Eurus has shown in our GE Vernova technology. We are pleased to be able to support them on this project and look forward to continuing to enhance our relationship with them as they work to bring online more renewable energy both in Japan and globally.”
