On September 28, the construction ended for the Seto Wind
Hill Power Plant, owned by Seto Wind Hill, Ltd., This plant is the largest wind-powered
generating plant in the Chugoku and Shikoku area of Japan, with a generating capacity
of 11,000 kW (1,000 kW x 11 wind-power turbines). The new plant is located in
Seto-cho, Nishi-Uwa-gun (Ehime Prefecture) and is being operated by MHI and the
local Seto Township government. Geographically, the plant is located in the center
of the long and narrow Shikoku-Sada-misaki Peninsula that stretches from east
to west.
The plant is situated at an elevation of approximately 300 meters and will undoubtedly
become a new symbol of Seto Town.
MHI built the plant on a turnkey project basis that included the windmill design
and fabrication, the foundation work, the related electric power equipment as
well as installation and wiring work.
