As of April 2, 2025, Sumitomo Corporation and several other companies have been advancing the construction of the Abukuma Wind Power Plants wind farm since April 2022, through Fukushima Fukko Furyoku. [1] Construction was completed on March 31, 2025, with commercial operations starting on April 2, 2025. The renewable energy generated at the wind farm will be supplied to multiple companies and municipalities with business operations in Fukushima Prefecture through Corporate Power Purchase Agreements. A portion of the revenue from energy sales is expected to be utilized for funding reconstruction projects in local municipalities where the wind farm is located through the Fukushima Prefecture Renewable Energy Reconstruction Promotion Council. The Abukuma Wind Power Project is part of Fukushima Prefecture’s initiative to generate more than 100% of its energy demand from renewable energy sources by 2040. The wind farm is Japan’s largest onshore wind farm, comprising 46 wind turbines with a capacity of 3,200 kW each, spanning the municipalities of Tamura, Okuma, Namie, and Katsurao. The total generation capacity of the wind farm is 147,000 kW.
