GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business has signed an agreement with Eurus Energy Holdings Corp. to supply seven 4.2 MW-117 m wind turbines for the 29.4 MW Eurus Hiyamizutouge wind farm in Mutsu City and Higashidori Village, Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
The deal includes a two-year service agreement with an option for a two-year extension.
The 4.2 MW-117 m turbines are part of GE Vernova’s workhorse 4 MW platform, with over 2 million operating hours, this turbine has been specifically engineered to deliver high-output, reliable performance in Japan’s unique wind conditions.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer of Onshore Wind, International Markets at GE Vernova, noted: “We are pleased to partner once again with Eurus Energy to bring the Hiyamizutouge project to life. Our 4 MW platform is well-suited to the Japanese landscape, offering the durability and efficiency required to maximise the country’s wind potential. GE Vernova technology currently powers 25% of Japan’s installed wind capacity, and we remain dedicated to supporting the nation’s energy transition.”
Masaru Akiyoshi, Representative Director and Executive Vice President, Eurus Energy, added: “We are pleased to once again partner with GE Vernova on a renewable energy project in Japan. We are grateful to the people of Mutsu City and Higashidori Village, the administrative agencies, and all stakeholders for their support. We look forward to building this new wind farm in Aomori together and contributing to Japan’s renewable energy goals through our continued collaboration.”
This project contributes to Japan’s ambitious goal of generating 36 – 38% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. GE Vernova and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) launched a joint focus group on 10 June 2025, aimed at addressing challenges and opportunities and deepening collaboration in energy security and innovation.
This follows a period of strong momentum for GE Vernova in Japan, where the company has secured 339 MW of orders in 2025 across a diverse customer base, including established utilities and emerging independent power producers. GE Vernova and its technologies contribute significantly to Japan’s overall electric capacity, accounting for around 50% of the country’s installed heavy-duty gas turbine power generation capacity and 25% of the country’s onshore wind capacity.
GE Vernova’s Wind segment’s portfolio reflects a deliberate workhorse strategy – standardised, industrialised machines engineered for repeatable execution and long-term reliability. With more than 59 000 turbines operating globally, its experience informs every product it designs, manufactures, and deploys.
