Fukushima Wind Project to Add Largest Turbine Ever Used at Sea
This article is for subscribers only.
A floating offshore wind project in northern Japan will soon add a 7-megawatt turbine, the largest of its kind ever to be used at sea.
The new turbine will join a smaller 2-megawatt model, which has been generating power at the project about 20 kilometers (12 miles) off the coast of Fukushima since November 2013. The turbines are part of a pilot project led by Marubeni Corp. and funded by the Japanese government.
