Japan: JERA and Green Power Investment Corporation have begun commercial operations at the 112 MW Ishikari Bay New Port Offshore Wind Farm in Japan.
The wind farm is located 3 km off Hokkaido and features 14 8 MW turbines made by Siemens Gamesa. The partners own the Ishikari Bay New Port Offshore Wind Farm through special purpose company Green Power Ishikari GK. Onshore construction was carried out by Kajima Corporation, while offshore construction was done by a joint venture between Shimizu Corporation and Nippon Steel Engineering.
The electricity generated will be supplied to Hokkaido Electric Power Network (HEPN) after being routed through a project transformer substation which includes a 100 MW battery storage capacity and through HEPN’s Nishi Sapporo substation. Also, Pattern Energy concluded an agreement with JERA and NTT Anode Energy Corporation in May 2023 for the joint acquisition of Green Power Investment Corporation.
