Vena Energy commissions 47-MW wind farm in Japan

Singapore’s Vena Energy, a portfolio company of Global Infrastructure Partners, has put on stream a 47-MW wind farm in Japan’s Aomori prefecture, the the independent power producer (IPP) company said on Tuesday.

The Nakasato wind park covers an area of 24 hectares (59.3 acres) located in the outskirts of Nakadomari Town. It is equipped with 13 turbines with a hub height of up to 116.5 metres (382.2 feet), which are expected t have an annual power output that will be enough to cover the consumption of up to 22,000 local homes. The generation will help help offset around 61,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year, the developer estimates.

Nakasato is Vena Energy’s first wind project in Japan. It kicked off construction works in the summer of 2020.

Vena Energy, which is mainly operating in the Asia-Pacific region, currently has 32 solar and wind farms in Japan with a combined capacity of 715 MW, it noted.
