A wind turbine generator in which the number of components and weight of a yaw system (10A) mounted atop a tower (2) can be reduced is provided. In a wind turbine generator that is equipped with a yaw system (10A) including a yaw driving unit (30), a yaw slew ring, and a yaw brake and that rotates a nacelle mounted on the top of a tower (2) in accordance with the wind direction, the yaw slew ring is a slide bearing (20A) fixed to a nacelle base plate (12) with a substantially L-shaped-cross-section bracket (23A), and the slide bearing (20A) is configured to slidably support a flange (2a) formed at the upper end of the tower (2) with slide pads (22) held by the bracket (23A). |
