BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 25. A wind power
project backed by ITOCHU Corporation has begun commercial
operations in northern Japan, marking another step in the country’s
push to expand renewable energy capacity, Trend reports via the
company.


The onshore wind farm, located in Aomori Prefecture, entered
operation on March 2 under Japan’s feed-in tariff (FIT) scheme, its
developers said.


The project is operated by Mutsu Ogawara Wind Power LLC, a joint
venture involving Kanadevia Corporation, ITOCHU and Tokyo Century
Corporation.


Situated near Mutsu Ogawara Port in Rokkasho Village along the
Pacific coast, the facility consists of 15 turbines with a grid
connection capacity of 57 MW and a maximum output of 64.5 MW.
Construction began in 2023 and was completed in February 2026.







The project is expected to generate enough electricity to supply
approximately 46,000 households annually and reduce carbon dioxide
emissions by around 81,000 tons per year.


Kanadevia acted as the engineering, procurement and construction
(EPC) contractor and will handle operations and maintenance for
about 20 years.


The project is scheduled to operate through 2046.
