Japan Admits (615 MW) Offshore Wind Sets to JERA-LED Consortium and BP Partners

 

A consortium led by JERA, including Green Power Investment and Tohoku Electric Power, has won work on a 615 MW offshore wind project in the Sea of ​​Japan off the coast of Aomori Prefecture.

The venture will be managed by the Tsugaru Offshore Energy Community, a business entity formed by the three consortium members.

The offshore farm, scheduled to start operations in June 2030, will feature 41 Siemens Gamesa SG-DD236 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW.

In a separate development under the same tender, BP and its consortium partners—Tokyo Gas, Marubeni Corporation, Kansai Electric Power, and Marutaka Corporation—have been selected to build a 450 MW offshore wind farm near Yuza Town. This project is scheduled to begin operations in June 2030.
