Toshiba will supply three turbines for the project, to be built in the Sea of Japan off the coast of Tsugaru, Aomori prefecture.

Hitachi Zosen will construct the fixed foundations for the turbines, while Sumitomo Electric will supply power transmission cables.

The total cost of the wind farm remains undetermined, a Hitachi Zosen spokesperson told Recharge, confirming earlier Japanese-language media reports.
