Hama Wing (ハマウィング Hama wingu) is the nickname for the Yokohama City Wind Power Plant (横浜市風力発電所 Yokohama-shi Fūryoku hatsudensho), an experimental wind power plant established in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan in April 2007.
The wind turbine is a Vestas Wind Systems A/S Model V80-2.0MW with a rotor diameter of 80 metres (260 ft) and a 78 metres (256 ft) tall tower. At the highest point of rotation the turbine is 118 metres (387 ft) tall, higher than the 112.5-metre (369 ft) Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama. The turbine has an output of 1,980kW (enough power for 860 homes), and its purpose is to publicize environmentally-friendly alternative energy sources while providing electricity to the Minato Mirai 21 district.
