Japan's Hokuriku Electric to build 600-MW gas-fired power plant in north
4/28/2025
Hokuriku Electric Power said on Monday that it will build a new 600-megawatt (MW) LNG-fired power generation unit at its Toyama Shinko power station in northern Japan, with operations slated to begin in the 2033–2034 fiscal year.
The new unit will replace two aging thermal power units: a 250-MW coal-fired unit and an idled 240-MW oil-fired unit. The company expects the replacement to reduce its annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by around 2 metric MMtpy, it said.
Hokuriku Electric plans to conduct an environmental assessment and start construction in the 2029–2030 fiscal year.
