For Japan, which lacks natural resources, hydroelectric power is a purely domestic source of energy that is stable and environmentally friendly.
The century-old Uchiyama station on the Sakawagawa River is undergoing equipment replacement and repowering. Gamesa Electric, through its collaboration, is contributing to this project, incorporating a 5MW synchronous generator, which will improve the performance of this station in the Kanagawa district. Run-of-river developments come with a lighter footprint than a typical dam, avoiding flooding and relocation of people.
This evidences the country’s firm commitment to renewable energies for more than 100 years.
