RWE biggest winner in Japan offshore wind round with plan to use 18MW GE turbines

German utility RWE has made its debut in Japan, and the wider APAC region, by securing a 684MW project to be located off the country’s west coast, facing the cities of Murakami and Tainai that will use 18MW turbines from GE.

Heading a consortium also featuring Japanese giants Mitsui and Osaka Gas, RWE was selected to develop, construct and operate a fixed-bottom offshore wind farm scheduled to complete its commissioning in June 2029.
