The Azuma Kogen Wind Farm in Fukushima City started commercial operation on 1 May with a total capacity of 32,400 kilowatts (kW), according to Japan Renewable Energy (JRE) Corporation.

In a statement, JRE said the wind farm is composed of nine turbines with a capacity of 3,600 kW with a total planned annual generation of 64.3 million kW-hours.
