KDDI and J-POWER ink deal for second onshore wind farm

To support the deal, a plant in Hokkaido will be built.

KDDI Corporation and J-POWER Group have entered another virtual power purchase agreement (PPA) for onshore wind power generation following the earlier deal for the New Minami Osumi Wind Farm.

In a statement, J-POWER said the latest agreement involves its wind power business JWind Kaminokuni, Ltd., KDDI, and Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. This is the largest virtual PPA for an onshore wind power plant in Japan’s telecommunications industry.

J-Wind Kaminokuni plans to construct the 51,595-kilowatt Kaminokuni No. 3 Wind Farm in Kaminokuni-cho, Hokkaido.

Under the PPA, the environmental value generated from power generation will be provided to KDDI for 20 years from the start of commercial operations. This will help the company reduce its carbon emissions at its telecommunication base stations by approximately 10% in real terms.

Construction of the Kaminokuni wind farm will commence in the first half of fiscal year 2025. It is expected to start commercial operations by September 2028.
