The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) selected Vestas under the GX Supply Chain Construction Support Program to back establishment of offshore turbine nacelle assembly in Japan. The investment remains contingent on offshore wind market growth and the company’s order status in Japanese projects. Vestas will transfer final-stage nacelle assembly from overseas to pre-assembly ports in Japan and set up a base for specialised jigs and equipment in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
