Turbine manufacturer Senvion has signed a contract to supply and service the 23.8MW Wakami wind farm developed by Japan Wind Development (JWD) and Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (MES).
Under the deal, with an undisclosed value, Senvion will supply seven of its 3.4M104 turbines for the project.
The turbines have a hub height of 80 meters, and have been specially designed to ensure the wind farm can handle potential seismic or extreme wind conditions typical of the Akita Prefecture located in northern Japan and meet the exacting requirements of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
