GE Vernova ’s Onshore Wind business has announced that it has signed an order to provide 14 4.2MW-117m turbines for the Iwaya and Shitsukari wind farms being developed by Eurus near Higashidori, Aomori, Japan. The projects are scheduled to start commercial operations in 2028.

This agreement will bring the total capacity being supplied in Japan by GE Vernova wind turbines to 1.8 GW.

We are pleased to be able to support them on this project and look forward to continuing to enhance our relationship with them as they work to bring online more renewable energy both in Japan and globally.”
