Ishikari Bay New Port Offshore Wind Farm Our Company / Investment Projects
Provided by Green Power Investment Corporation
JERA, through its subsidiary, owns the Ishikari Bay New Port Offshore Wind Farm in partnership with the Green Power Investment Corporation (GPI). The wind farm has been developed by GPI over many years and is the largest offshore wind farm in Japan at its commencement of commercial operation.
Located in Hokkaido’s Ishikari Bay New Port, the wind farm has 14 wind turbines manufactured by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy each of which has a capacity of 8,000 kW, and its total capacity is 112,000 kW. All electric power generated is supplied to Hokkaido Electric Power Network, Inc. (“HEPN”) after being routed through a project substation with 180,000 kWh of battery storage capacity—a distinguishing feature of the wind farm—and then through HEPN’s Nishi Sapporo Substation.
